Espelkamp Christmas market: sparkle of lights and enjoyment in Advent!

Espelkamp will be transformed into a glittering winter wonderland from December 12th to 15th, 2024! The traditional Christmas market, which has the motto “Espelkamp Lights”, will take place around the city fountain and promises a festive atmosphere thanks to beautifully decorated stalls run by local retailers and restaurateurs. Here, visitors can not only enjoy the famous shashlik or fish sandwiches, but also treat themselves to popular delicacies such as roasted almonds and mulled wine. Enjoy the variety of Italian and Turkish specialties, while the atmosphere is enriched by musical performances from the Espelkamp-Rahden Stemwede music school association nw.de reports.

Opening times and program highlights

The Christmas market is open on the first three days from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., although Sunday has a very special touch: the shops on Breslauer Straße open their doors from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. for Sunday shopping. A highlight for the children is Santa Claus, who appears at the city fountain on Saturday at 3 p.m. and distributes small gifts. It will be particularly festive on Sunday evening, when at 6:30 p.m. a brand new car will be waiting for a new owner as part of a big raffle, while the Espelkamp trade association will be offering additional attractive prizes, such as weihnachtsmarkt-deutschland.de describes.

The extensive music program, which changes daily, as well as numerous games and craft activities in the heated pagoda tent promise an unforgettable experience for the whole family. Come by and experience the festive atmosphere that fills the whole of Espelkamp in the run-up to Christmas!
