The brightly lit town hall on Wismar's historic market square, the colourful gabled houses and the famous waterworks form a festive backdrop for the traditional Christmas market.

In the air is the smell of mulled wine and roasted almonds. The Swedish-style Christmas huts offer Christmas goods and gift ideas such as Christmas tree decorations, toys, woodwork, candles and much more. For the children there are various carousels, a special children's Christmas market with fairy tale figures and a hut for pottery, felting and painting and a hut where you can decorate Christmas balls. Here the little ones can make individual gifts for parents and friends.

On December 3, the Christmas concert of the NDR Elbphilarmonie Orchester will take place in the St. Georgen Church in Wismar at 7:30 pm.

On the third weekend of Advent, an art market will attract visitors to the St. Georgen Church. From 13 to 15 December, artisans will be offering their products. Get in touch with the artists. The assortment at the more than 50 sales stands ranges from warming fashion, interesting jewellery ideas and creative prints to self-made woodwork and is rounded off by artistically designed ceramics, magical glass work and decorative metal and leather work. The restaurant also provides for your physical well-being, so you can enjoy the pre-Christmas atmosphere with coffee, cake and mulled wine.

The highlight on the third Advent is the traditional Seemannsweihnacht with light journey in Wismar. A maritime Christmas market will then be set up at the Old Harbour. The brightly lit ships set sail for a final evening "light voyage" to sea. Fishermen and sailors thank this in Northern Germany unique harvest festival for their annual catch.
