Wiesbaden Twinkling Star Christmas Market

The Wiesbaden twinkling star market opens on the Schlossplatz between the town hall and the city palace and around the Marktkirche.

A sea of ​​lights and colors, a mélange of sounds and smells, which holds lots of inspiration and is a rush for all the senses: This is what the Wiesbaden twinkling star market stands for.

Through four large illuminated gates, visitors enter the fascinating world of the market with its almost 30-meter-high Christmas tree, which is decorated with 1,000 blue-gold ribbons and 3,000 pears. An equally attractive eye-catcher is the crib set up in front of the Christmas tree with its life-size carved wooden figures.

Without a varied music program on the stage in front of the town hall, without the many culinary delicacies and without the carousel, the railway and the children’s bakery, which are so popular with the little guests, the shooting stars market would be missing something this year as well.
