Landau in der Pfalz

“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. Many details to follow.

The German-French Farmers' Market offers you a unique shopping experience on Sunday, March 24, 2027 from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. What unites us Palatinate people and our neighbors from Alsace is our love for good food. We appreciate good wine, sociability, and delicious meals. It is not surprising that we want to combine the culinary delights of our regions in some way. That is why we are hosting the German-French Farmers' Market in the Landau Town Square for the 12th time. _The mixture makes it!_ Regional products from the Palatinate and culinary highlights from neighboring France make this gourmet market one of the most exciting in the region. You will find local products, regional specialties, short transport distances, and animal-friendly husbandry - this is more important today than ever before. The German-French Farmers' Market places special emphasis on this. The selection between savory smoked trout, French delicacies such as cakes, pastries, jams, and goat cheese specialties, as well as regional specialties, is enormous. Fish specialties together with delicious wines invite you to linger. A colorful range of spring decorations rounds off the diverse offerings.
