A Grand Festive Show

The highlight of the Christmas market is a grand show combining sparkling dancers, fire-eaters, artistic face painting, clown acts, and balloon sculptors. This popular and free show attracts families and delights young and old in a festive fairground atmosphere.

The Christmas Carousel and Entertainment

A carousel is set up on the town hall square throughout the festive period. It operates every weekday evening and all day on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, allowing children to enjoy this traditional pleasure throughout December.

Light decorations, Christmas trees, and illuminations adorn the streets and squares of the town. Santa Claus's mailbox is installed on the carousel to collect children's letters.

Christmas in the Food Markets
