„The tradition of the Leipzig Christmas market dates back to 1458, making it the second oldest in Germany. Due to its unique cultural and culinary offerings in the pedestrian-friendly, illuminated city center, it has acquired a legendary reputation. The Christmas product range is framed by highlights such as the organ music and performances of the Christmas Oratorio by Johann Sebastian Bach in the Leipzig churches, the trumpeter performances on the tower of the Old Town Hall, the Christmas show of the Krystallpalast Varieté and last but not least the Fairytale Forest and the Santa Claus office hours.“
