Christmas market and festival of light |
|
Seasonal advent lighting, lovingly decorated, cosy wooden stalls, Christmas carols – that is Christmas market in Delmenhorst. The scent of cinnamon, aniseed and roasted almonds temptingly pervades the glowing streets, while the bright lights of the merry-go-round are reflected in the shining eyes of the children. Delmenhorst's Christmas market begins four weeks before Christmas Eve, entertaining both young and old in the long wait for Christmas itself.
The festival of light is inseparably linked with the Christmas market, turning the Town Hall into an elves' workshop once a year: selected hobby artists and artisans offer unusually and beautifully worked presents to go under the tree, with a different focus chosen each year. Splendidly decorated Christmas trees, splendid tinsel angels and the glow of countless lights create a magical atmosphere in which visitors gladly get in the mood for this special time of year. A festival that's also a must for Father Christmas every year!
