Celebrate the Christmas season with the Bocholt community! Our event guide presents all the festive activities that our Westphalian city has to offer during the Advent season.
The historic marketplace forms the heart of the winter festivities, surrounded by traditional half-timbered houses and the historic town hall. From there, the Christmas activities extend through the pedestrian zone to Neutorplatz, where visitors can stroll between decorated market stalls. With its decorated streets and traditional Christmas market, Bocholt's city center transforms into an atmospheric meeting point for locals and guests from the region.
