There are all sorts of things to discover at the market to create the right atmosphere in your own four walls. From classic Christmas tree decorations in all imaginable colors and shapes to nativity figures, vinegar & oils, wooden toys and much more, we offer everything at the Waldweihnacht. There is also something for the eye, the gift table, the dry throat and the growling stomach. As the days get colder and shorter, it's time to get warm again, even around the heart.
Christmas is one thing above all: a celebration for children. Also for the less privileged children of Erlangen. The Tree of Wishes and the charitable fundraising campaign "ERlanger Sterne strahlen" (Erlangen stars shine) are intended for them in particular. But even the slightly older Christmas fans will not miss out on the central stage program. An overview of the program can also be found in the calendar of events and at the bottom of this website. It may take a moment to load the dates. Please be patient and refresh your page if necessary.
