Christmas
Stand: 12.12.2024
In addition to our Waldweihnacht, which once again transforms the Schloßplatz into a winter Christmas forest, there are two other Christmas markets.
Erlangen Forest Christmas
From November 25 to December 24, the Schloßplatz will once again be transformed into a winter Christmas forest. Surrounded by real fir trees and decorated market stalls, you can immerse yourself in the cozy atmosphere of the Erlangen Forest Christmas. There are all sorts of things to discover at the market to create the right ambience 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, the Waldweihnacht has it all. There is also something for the eye, the gift table, the dry throat and the growling stomach. An overview of the stage program can be found here.
