Christmas markets in the rain

We are leaving next week for Bavaria and Salzburg for Christmas and it looks like quite a few rainy days in the forcast. Do the Christmas markets stay open in the rain? Are any of them sheltered? If they aren%26#39;t, it seems to me like it would be hard to enjoy. We had hoped to go to Christmas markets in some small towns like Dinklesbuhl but if it%26#39;s raining we could change our plans if larger cities would have more shelter. Or am I just being a spoiled Southern Californian?

Christmas markets are open no matter what the weather. In some there may be overhangs near the booths or places that you actually enter. You should realize that for many %26quot;rainy days%26quot; in Germany it may rain for only a short time with long periods of just clouds, and much of the rain may only be a very light drizzle. Wear appropriate clothes for damp conditions, and if it happens to rain really hard just visit a nearby store or restaurant until the rain stops, which probably won%26#39;t be for that long. A real rainy day probably also wouldn%26#39;t be that bad as the Christmas Market shouldn%26#39;t be overcrowded.
