Haller Nikolausmarkt

44th Haller Nikolausmarkt 2024
The Haller Nikolausmarkt organized by the Haller Interessen- und Werbegemeinschaft (HIW) starts on Friday, 29 November at 4 pm in Hall's St. Johanniskirche with a musical welcome led by church music director Friedemann Engelbert. At 5 p.m., Mayor Thomas Tappe will take to the stage to open the event to the public and switch on the Christmas lights for Hall's city center. Together, the stage guests summon Santa Claus, who appears with his elves to hand out sweets. The opening day ends with a live band on stage in the evening from 8 pm.
 
On Saturday, the St. Nicholas Market is open from 1 pm. It gets noisy from 3 p.m., as visitors call out to St. Nicholas together, who in turn distributes small bags filled with gifts from the stores in Hall. This Saturday ends with the band >Goodbeats<, who will provide a St. Nicholas party atmosphere from 8 pm.

Sunday also has an attractive St. Nicholas program. At 9.30 a.m. there will be an Advent service in St. Johanniskirche and from 1 p.m. the retailers in Hall will be inviting visitors to an Advent shopping Sunday. It may not be Christmas yet, but children's wishes will come true from 3:30 pm. The little angel on the stage will pull 24 children's wish lists out of the Santa Claus box and bring lots of joy with the presents. One thing is already certain, HIW and the organizing team are looking forward to three wonderful days at the St. Nicholas Market in the Haller Herz on the church square.
