In
the walled city of Bruges a whole host of different events come
together in a winter festival with a distinct Christmas theme. On
the square in front of the railway station, an incredible ice
palace is the setting for a fairytale that will keep children
engrossed.
Exhibitions in Congrescentrum Oud-St. Jan, include Christmas
decorations and flower arrangements with many works by
professional interior designers on show.
On Market Square, the stalls of the Christmas Market are set out,
along with a large ice rink. Just before Christmas, the procession
of the Eastern Star is all about the Three Wise Men together with
floats, animals and a choir.
Wintertime concerts are held in the Concertgebouw and the
Municipal museums lay on seasonal exhibitions. Shopping
promotions, planetarium events and further concerts are all on the
seasonal Christmas agenda in this historic port city.
Bruges,
warm winter cheer.
