Christmas Market of 1000 Lights Haßloch

Palatinate Christmas Spirit in Haßloch

Haßloch is the largest municipality in the Palatinate region and boasts a correspondingly vibrant event scene. During Advent, the town center becomes a landscape of light – the Christmas Market of 1000 Lights provides the stage for this atmosphere. Unlike the very large Christmas markets in major cities, Haßloch is manageable – making the market a relaxed family destination.

Over 30 Stalls

The market offers over 30 stalls. About half feature arts and crafts and gift ideas – ceramics, glass, jewelry, felt and textile work, wooden toys, candles, Christmas decorations. The other half serves Palatinate and Christmas classics: Palatinate mulled wine, white mulled wine, children's punch, Saumagen, Bratwurst, Reibekuchen, Flammkuchen, crêpes, chestnuts, candied almonds, Palatinate gingerbread.

Mulled Wine from Palatinate Riesling

A special feature of Palatinate Christmas markets is the mulled wine made from regional wine. In Haßloch, Palatinate Riesling and Spätburgunder are processed into mulled wine – a clear qualitative difference from the industrial mulled wine found at many mass markets. In addition, there are white mulled wine variations, sparkling wine punch, and for children and non-drinkers, non-alcoholic punch.

A Thousand Lights

The light concept, which gives the market its name, is re-staged each year. Fairy lights span the squares, stalls are decorated with stars, fir wreaths, and lamps, and large fir trees with elaborate lighting stand at central points. The atmosphere, especially after dark, is one of the market's strengths.
