It was a night of dancing and laughter at the fifth annual German Christmas Market on Saturday, Dec. 9. A joint effort between Rollins College's German club and Rollins College Community engagement, the event hosted over 20 vendors offering traditional German food and fun games on the Bush Lawn. The Orlando Trachtenverein, a local group of traditional German schuhplattler tap-dancers, dazzled the crowd with an elaborate performance in front of the Christmas tree. All proceeds went towards hurricane disaster victims in Puerto Rico.
