On the third weekend of Advent - 14 & 15 December 2024 - the Lessingstadt will have a very special flair and the festival grounds around the Kamenzer Malzhaus will be transformed into a fairytale Christmas market for two days. Almost everything is not like at an ordinary Advent market. Angels, Father Christmases, lansquenets, fire breathers, craftsmen and fairy tale characters stroll through the alleyways at night. There are big and bigger sensations, music and surprises on every corner. Cosy smells waft through the evening air.
Children can visit Father Christmas or experience juggling and cabaret on the big stage and in the Santa Claus House. Scissor grinders, felt makers, craftspeople, wood carvers and potters offer unique gift ideas at the crafts market in the Malzhaus cellar. Everyone is sure to find one last Christmas present here.
In the Museum Garden, right next door, the creative workshops attract young and old alike. Glass beads can be made by the fire, ropes twisted, pictures printed, paper scooped or chocolates made. And while the little ones are busy crafting, the grown-ups can visit the "hot hut".
In the historical camp, the Landsknechte provide lots of fun and entertainment for the children, who can compete in archery here. Visitors can also look forward to delicious game specialities, a large fairytale puzzle, Christmas gifts, a historical children's carousel, a storyteller, a photography workshop and, of course, the gourmet mile with plenty of food and drink. And just before Christmas, children have another opportunity to hand in their wish lists at the Christmas Post Office - so let's go to Kamenz!
