Christmas Market at Drostenhaus Balve
2025
Edition 2025 — Finished
Edition 2025 — Drostenhaus Christmas Market
The 2025 edition followed the proven concept of the Balver Werbegemeinschaft as usual. The Drostenplatz setting with the illuminated half-timbered Drostenhaus once again provided the backdrop for association stalls, handicrafts, and the living nativity scene.
Families benefited from the visit of St. Nicholas on Saturday, while Sauerland specialties such as potato pancakes with apple sauce, lard cakes, and kale with smoked sausage were served from the counters of local rifle brotherhoods and sports clubs. On Sunday, performances by choirs and the brass choir rounded off the Advent weekend.
