Light in the City Centre
As November begins, the town of Varel and Stadtmarketing Varel GmbH usher in the pre-Christmas season with the Lichterabend. The city centre becomes a space of light, shops display their windows in festive splendour, and special light installations are created in the squares.
Light Installations
Artful light installations are temporarily set up in the city centre: light sculptures, projections on facades, illuminated trees. The staging changes annually, surprising visitors with new accents.
Advent Calendar Sale
A special tradition is the Advent calendar sale. Stadtmarketing Varel or social initiatives sell Advent calendars to benefit charitable projects. The calendars offer small surprises daily and simultaneously strengthen commitment to good causes.
Live Music
Acoustic live music accompanies the Lichterabend. Local acts play Christmas tunes, creating a calm atmosphere that harmonises with the evening's special ambiance.
Varel City Centre
Varel's city centre, with Schlossplatz, Schlosskirche, and its historic streets, provides a beautiful backdrop for the Lichterabend. The shops complement the scene with festive window displays and special promotions.
Lichterabend Varel — edition 2026
The 2026 edition continues the annual tradition. With the Lichterabend, Varel's pre-Christmas season begins, later followed by the Advent market on Schlossplatz.
The format with light installations, music, and Advent calendar sales has proven successful and is maintained annually.
