Edemissen Christmas Market

Advent Market with Youth Character

The Edemissen Christmas Market is a special form of the village Advent market. Instead of being organized by a classic association or the municipal administration, it is organized by the municipal youth services and the municipal youth ring. This sponsorship gives the market a youthful, family-friendly character and ensures that the proceeds directly benefit the municipality's youth work.

Chaulnespark as a Backdrop

Chaulnespark at Eltzer Drift 4 is a well-maintained park in the heart of the Edemissen municipality. With old trees, manicured paths, and an open meadow, it offers an ideal backdrop for an atmospheric Advent market. Illuminated wooden huts, fairy lights in the trees, and the scent of mulled wine, almonds, and fir green create a pre-Christmas atmosphere that invites visitors to linger.

Stalls and Stage Program

The stalls offer classic Christmas market fare: handmade arts and crafts, Christmas decorations, gift ideas for children and adults, regional specialties, and sweets. Local choirs, school orchestras, brass bands, and music groups provide the festive program on the small stage. This involvement of local associations is an important feature of the market and makes it a true community event.

Culinary Delights

The gastronomic offerings range from mulled wine and punch to children's punch and non-alcoholic hot drinks, as well as bratwurst, potato pancakes, crepes, lard cakes, and sweets. Catering is partly provided by school classes, youth groups, and associations, whose proceeds directly benefit their work.

Advent Atmosphere in Early December

The date in early December takes advantage of the earliest phase of the Advent season, thus avoiding competition with the major Christmas markets in the region, which usually open their doors in the second week of Advent. The Edemissen Christmas Market thus serves as the kickoff to the actual pre-Christmas period for many families and a fixed date in the Advent calendar.
