Christmas magic in Grieskirchen: sea of ​​lights and traditional actions!

In Grieskirchen, the city shines again in the festive glow of lights - two years after the avoidance of Christmas lights due to high energy prices, the municipality is now deciding to return to the lights. The solemn ambience, which has long been missing, is back and creates a Christmas atmosphere in the city center. In Schenkenfelden, on the other hand, energy saving remains a central topic. Mayor Doris Leitner explains that the Christmas lights on the marketplace was reduced to protect the health insurers. Nevertheless, economical Christmas lights shine, which was made possible by the switch to LED technology. During a new lantern campaign, creative citizens are illuminating twelve lanterns in front of the house entrances to spread the festive mood even without much expenditure, as initiator Greti Ecker reports.

Christmas village and Advent calendar in Grieskirchen

On December 1st, the Christmas village was opened in Grieskirchen with a festive ceremony that attracts visitors every day from 4:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Culinary delights and hot punch are waiting for the guests. The special highlight is the town hall advent calendar, which opens a new window every day by December 23. Every window opening that takes place at 6 p.m. are musical performances and contemplative texts. Artists and students in the region have artistically designed the windows to increase the anticipation for Christmas. The first window that was sponsored by the Grieskirchen brewery was reminiscent of peace in the world, said the artist Theresia Falzberger.

On December 5th and 6th, special events were planned, including an eerie Perchten run and the visit to the Nikolaus, who took a horse carriage into the Christmas village and delighted the little visitors with souvenir photos. The festive atmosphere organized by the Grieskirchen clubs is intended to inspire the city throughout the entire Advent season and attract numerous visitors.
