“The anticipation for Christmas is rising and we are ready for festive magic, lights, mulled wine aromas, and more in our city.” “We wish all residents of Landau and of course the guests of our city a beautiful and contemplative experience with various delicacies, wonderful handcrafted arts from the region, warming punch, exciting rides, and other special activities specifically for our young visitors. What can visitors expect at this year's Thomas Nast Nikolausmarkt? More than 50 artisanal and gastronomic stalls fill the festive square in the center of Landau at the market named after Landau's most famous son, the cartoonist and father of "Santa Claus," Thomas Nast. Until Sunday, December 20, guests can look forward to sweet and savory treats such as traditional winemaker's mulled wine, crêpes, gingerbread, and grilled specialties, as well as the Hartmann family's carousel with a historic organ, the Henn family's Nikolaus Express, the Scherrle family's children’s carousel, the nativity house, and of course, the festively decorated and illuminated Christmas tree. In the two pavilions of artisans, artists can be observed in their creative work – and naturally, it is also possible to purchase some extraordinary Christmas gifts there. The little visitors of the Nikolausmarkt are invited to the “Heavenly Bakery” to make their Christmas cookies under expert guidance. Will Andrea Miller from the “Rebknorze Theater” enrich the market again this year? The children are certainly looking forward to the heated puppet theater wagon, just like every year.
