‘TODAY’ show to feature Carmel Christkindlmarkt Friday morning

CARMEL, Ind. — Central Indiana will take center stage as the “TODAY” show celebrates the holidays this week!

“TODAY” is bringing their “Merriest Main Street” segment to Carmel’s Christkindlmarkt on Friday, Dec. 19, and 13News will be there to welcome the show to the Hoosier State. 

13Weather meteorologist Matt Standridge will be at the market during Friday’s show. 

Watch on Friday as Standridge meets townspeople, tourists, carolers and speaks with Carmel Mayor Sue Finkam and Christkindlmarkt CEO Julia Davis.

Christkindlmarkt officials invited the public to visit the market to show off the city’s holiday spirit, though they noted Christkindlmarkt won’t be open for sales during the show. 

Organizers said about a quarter of a million people are expected at the Carmel Christkindlmarkt every year. The market is open through Christmas Eve, except for Mondays, Tuesdays and on Thanksgiving.

“TODAY” airs weekdays from 7-9 a.m. on WTHR Channel 13, followed by “TODAY 3rd Hour” from 9-10 a.m. and “TODAY with Jenna & Friends” from 10-11 a.m.
