Tips & Advice
- Be near the town hall for the opening, when the mayor and the Stadtmarketing board send the light out over the city from the town hall balcony.
- Wrap up warmly, since the whole program takes place outdoors around the Marktplatz and downtown on a November evening.
- Walk the streets beyond the Marktplatz, because highlights to listen to and marvel at are spread across the inner city as well.
- Come without fixed expectations, because the organizers keep the evening's highlights secret and promise only that it will glow, sparkle, ring out and be spectacular.
