Watch Razzle Dazzle Balloons make creations to take home during Christmas Village’s Preview Weekend. Market admission is free, but the listing does not state whether balloon twisting costs extra.
All times are local to the venue · America/New York
The attraction here is the making: Christmas Village invites visitors to watch balloon creations take shape and take one home. The listing describes a watch-and-take-home activity, not a lesson or workshop.
Christmas Village’s Preview Weekend is billed as a chance to explore the season’s vendors, food and drinks, and attractions. Balloon twisting is one stop in that broader market visit, rather than a program about German holiday customs.
The market, which began in 2013, takes inspiration from Nuremberg’s historic 16th-century Christkindlesmarkt. That background helps explain the setting; the listing presents Razzle Dazzle Balloons’ appearance as a family activity, not as a traditional German craft.

A separate event at Rash Field Park is scheduled for 4:30–5 p.m., the closing half-hour of balloon twisting. It includes the lighting of a 26-foot Christmas tree and a performance by the Girl Scouts of Central Maryland Chorus. Visitors hoping to see both should allow for the overlap; the listings do not provide a travel buffer.
The listed hours are noon–5 p.m. The organizer’s calendar also lists Balloon Twisting on November 27, 28 and 29; those are separate calendar dates, not part of this November 21 session.

The organizer says public admission is free during Preview Weekend, November 21–22, and that the outdoor market area is always free. The balloon-twisting listing does not say whether the activity itself has a separate fee or requires a reservation.
The FAQ also says that on select weekend days, guests ages 18 and older need a $5 Season Pass to enter the heated festival tent; guests under 18 are free. The pass allows unlimited re-entry to the tent for the rest of the 2026 season. The FAQ does not say whether that tent rule applies on November 21.

The activity is described as suitable for visitors of all ages; the listing gives no more specific age guidance.
The FAQ describes the market area as wheelchair-accessible and says accessible parking is available at Harbor Court Garage. Some vendor kiosks have a step; the organizer says an attendant with a portable ramp can assist when contacted through its accessibility hotline during event hours. The FAQ said the 2026 hotline number would be updated in early November, so check current organizer information for the number.
The activity’s exact location within the market is not specified, and the sources do not describe access arrangements for the balloon station itself.
