Heidelberg shines: Christmas market gloss from November 25, 2024!

Heidelberg turns into a winter fairy tale! From November 25th to December 22, 2024, the old town shines in a festive shine. The Christmas market attracts visitors with its seductive scents and sparkling lights, while Bismarckplatz and the winter grove remain open until January 1, 2025. The opening on November 25th at 6 p.m. is celebrated by Mayor Eckart Würzner, accompanied by the Heidelberg Christ child and a children's choir who warm the hearts with Christmas carols and poems.

six festively decorated places invite you to stroll where you can enjoy sweet and hearty specialties. On Bismarckplatz, the little guests can expect a wheelchair -friendly children's carousel, which is free of charge on Mondays and Wednesdays for children up to 6 years. The University Square offers a variety of gift ideas and culinary delights, while the Heidelberger barrel on the market square is impressed with a height of 10 meters and 120,000 liters. Here you can relax with a glass of mulled wine in warm.

Special actions and events

The Christmas market also has numerous campaign days in their luggage! Students benefit from reduced mulled wine prices on the “student day”, while children and seniors receive many benefits on Thursday. On December 2, the “Pink Monday” is celebrated, a colorful event in favor of AIDSHILLE Heidelberg e.V., which provides a good mood with Djane Simoné and Travestie artist Trude Trash. In addition, interested parties can take part in a queer tour that illuminates the homosexual history of Heidelberg.

social projects are also the focus: the Bürgerhütte on the market square offers non -profit organizations a platform to present itself. On November 30th the "Advent market of the good acts" takes place, in which the proceeds will go to the participating institutions. And for everyone who is looking for a special gift, there is the set "Build your own Heidelberg Christmas Market" - a festival of the senses that awakens the anticipation for Christmas time!
