Augustusburg
Browse, shop, stroll, feast, craft, bake, marvel, laugh, join in ... there is something for everyone at the Augustusburg Männelmarkt in the historic old town. At the market, along Schloßstraße and around the Stadthaus, the vendors offer a wide range of regional products, selected Christmas gifts, and all kinds of delicacies to eat and drink. At the Stadthaus, you can look forward to demonstrations of traditional crafts, warm up and refresh yourself in the Männelcafé, or try your luck in the popular raffle run by the Gymnasium support association. Children will find a variety of appealing hands-on activities both in the Stadthaus and in the neighboring Lehngericht. This year, the Männelmarkt opens already on Friday with the first stalls and a stage program by Augustusburg’s show legend Gudrun Lange. For the Männel parade on Saturday, we once again expect many children dressed as Männels to march together through the old town to the stage, where they will already be welcomed by Father Christmas. On Sunday, there will once again be a lantern procession, an Advent fire, and Wichtelwurst for the little visitors. A Christmas program on the market stage at the Stadthaus, in the Lehngericht, and in the town church of St. Petri accompanies the weekend - from puppet theater and performances by children from our daycare centers and schools to stollen auctions and live music, everything is included. The program overview will be published here shortly.
