Tips & Advice
- Arrive early on Saturday to experience the market at its least crowded, especially if you want to enjoy the waffles and coffee before they sell out.
- Dress warmly and in layers, as much of the market and food service is outdoors, and the fire baskets provide ambiance but limited heat.
- Bring cash for smaller purchases from artisans, as not all vendors may accept card payments.
- Check the weather forecast and consider bringing an umbrella, as the event proceeds rain or shine, with some food and coffee served outdoors.
- Take a moment to appreciate the festive decorations and the illuminated tents, which create a particularly magical atmosphere as dusk settles.
