This year's Christmas market will feature nearly 350 stalls spread across 12 locations in the downtown area. The Schagchelstraat will again be transformed into Emma's Street, where you will go back in time to a real 19th-century Christmas party and the Kleine Houtstraat entirely in the style of the Middle Ages.
During the Christmas Market we have a very extensive entertainment program. Especially on Saturday and Sunday the entertainment will burst forth with plenty of performances in the downtown area, both indoors and outdoors. Friday is for the visitor who wants to visit the Christmas market in peace and quiet.
