Adventmarkt am Dom

Set against the backdrop of the Willibrordi-Dom, this market brings together local clubs, associations, and charitable institutions presenting a variety of self-made products. Guests can browse festive decorations, participate in a community Christmas sing-along, and watch the award ceremony for the most creative stall presentation. The event emphasizes sustainability by supplying reusable mugs cleaned on-site in a central mobile dishwasher.
