Light Shows and live music are especially marked. It is a great and spectacular add-on to every programme. The youngest visitors of the Christmas markets should not be disappointed as well. Puppet shows along with regular programmes in the heated playhouse are presented every weekend! In addition, the fair includes some original attractions: at the craft workshops you can learn the techniques of puppet, gift and gingerbread making. If you cannot choose a gift from millions of wooden toys, hand-blown glass figures, and iron items, you can always make it by your own hands.
