International shopping and enjoyment evening in Wittlich city centre
The Wittlich Dämmershoppen series enlivens the city centre of the "Säubrennerstadt" several times a year with its own themed evenings. While the July edition "Wittlich in White" focuses entirely on white summer aesthetics, the September edition "Wittlich International" is dedicated to cultural diversity – both of Wittlich's society and of the Mosel and Eifel region.
From dusk onwards, music from a wide variety of traditions can be heard on several stages in the city centre: Latin and Salsa, Balkan Brass, Klezmer and Eastern European folklore, Irish folk, African drumming groups, Bossa Nova, or Mediterranean pop bands. Dance groups from Wittlich migrant associations or cultural circles perform choreographies, and at some stalls, there are invitations to join in a dance session.
In parallel, Wittlich restaurants open specials with international menus, complemented by street food stalls from the region: Italian antipasti, Turkish mezze, Asian bowls, tapas, Vietnamese street food classics, Levantine falafel. Wine – in international comparison, Mosel Riesling alongside Vinho Verde or Italian white wines – draft beer and international cocktails complete the offer. Wittlich's shops extend their opening hours and pick up the motto in shop windows and promotions.
