Christmas Markets, Germany

Christmas markets in Germany (above) are a tradition dating to the 14th century when craftsmen began selling toys, baskets and candies, joining food and roasted nut vendors in market squares. Next week, more than 3,000 markets will celebrate seasonal customs with decorated stalls of crafts and regional culinary treats, and live music. Many are in and around the country's 38 Unesco World Heritage sites, like the one near Aachen's cathedral, featuring the 40-stop Nativity trail and Aachen Printen gingerbread. In the Tyrolean village of Weimar, once home to Goethe, Schiller and Bach, visitors can shop for Christmas decorations and skate on the old town's ice rink before settling down with glühwein (mulled wine).

Big Sur Foragers Festival, California

A culinary exploration of delicacies like baked field peas, long-cooked winter greens and other wild foods will take place from Jan. 17 to 19 during this festival, hosted by area restaurants, wineries, hotels and a community health center. "Wild Mushroom Walk and Talk" hikes, led by expert foragers, and a "Fungus Face-Off," a friendly competition in which chefs prepare chanterelles "and other fabulous fungi," are featured events.

Amsterdam Light Festival

The historical center of Amsterdam will be illuminated for 50 nights during this festival, now in its second year. Through Jan. 19, exhibitions of light sculptures and artworks include projections on historical buildings, and installations on the street and in parks. Events include boat tours to view the lighted canals, evening walking tours and concerts, and night shopping on Dec. 14, when many stores stay open until 10 p.m. On Jan. 9, registered participants will brighten the streets on decorated bicycles, in-line skates and skateboards on the "Light My Ride" tour.
