Thank you, Carmel Street Department!
It wouldn't be holiday season in Carmel without the Carmel Street Department. In addition to their regular duties they are instrumental in preparing the city for one of the most festive seasons of the year. From assembling the Winter Pavilion, huts at the Christkindlmarkt, and the ice skating rink in Carter Green to placing Santa's house at the Indiana Design Center to planning and installing many of the holiday lights, there is much that goes in to making Carmel a city to experience at holiday time.
