All of us at the German International School of Silicon Valley (GISSV) are excited to be holding our 7th annual German Holiday Market in the City of Mountain View. Thank you Mountain View City Council for your continued support! GISSV is a nonprofit independent school accredited and partly funded by the German government. The school is deeply rooted in European traditions and culture while also embodying an open and modern international community. Silicon Valley’s multicultural environment is the perfect setting to share our “Weihnachtsmarkt” and the great traditions that come with it. The German Holiday Market is a volunteer-driven event of our international school community supporting GISSV. We invite you to experience the holiday spirit through our market. Enjoy great music, taste delicious food and meet and make friends from around town and our school community.
Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
