Waldshut celebrates: Christmas market shines with new ice cream magic!
The Waldshut Christmas market, which began on November 23rd, brought a lot of joy this year and ended last Sunday. Over a period of 30 days, around 30 stands and the new VfB artificial ice rink enchanted visitors on Kaiserstrasse. According to the previous impressions of Petra Weber and Christian Straub, who have been responsible for the organization for over 20 years, the mood was noticeably higher compared to the previous year. “I think there was more footfall than last year,” emphasized Straub, emphasizing that the better weather was a decisive plus point suedkurier.de reported.
A special highlight this year was the artificial ice rink, which was integrated into the market design for the first time. VfB chairman Klaus Fricker described the measure as a complete success as it brought great joy to both children and adults. At the same time, a recurring problem also became apparent: nighttime break-ins and attempted break-ins, which have also occurred in the past, were recorded at some stalls. The culinary offerings such as the popular churros were very well received, but many visitors missed the canceled Christmas music due to high GEMA fees, which the organizers also regretted. In the market follow-up, scheduled for early January, the organizers will discuss what can be improved to make next year's market even more attractive badische-zeitung.de added.
Good mix of stands in focus
Overall, the organizers were very satisfied with how the market went, especially with regard to the loyal regular customers. The shortcomings such as the lack of Christmas music, which, according to Petra Weber, are due to the high fees, are also on the agenda for future planning. Those responsible are striving to guarantee a balanced mix of new and established stands in order to optimize the experience for all visitors. A new color for the coveted mulled wine cups was also announced to maintain the market's charm while bringing a breath of fresh air to the event.
