Live Entertainment
There are many singing choirs and bands that, at different locations and stages along the route, will provide you with live entertainment. There are two main stages where you can
enjoy several performances, one located at the Vismarkt and one at the Stadhuisplein. The latter is also where the enchanting Christmas sing-a-long event takes place on Friday
and Saturday evening.
Christmas Theatre and nativity scene with real animals
An outdoor, charming life size nativity scene with real animals is situated at the Grotekerksplein. This square also hosts a small and itimate Christmas theatre,
where a variety of acts is showcased.
Ice-skating-rink
Whilst some may enjoy the relaxed strolling along the large number of stalls, others can alternate the relaxed pace with a more active one at the ice-skating-rink at the
Statenplein. Next to the ice-rink there is also a large tent which offers a cosy retreat with warm seating areas and hundreds of fairy lights.
Best in Europe.
