Allgäu in a winter dream: Advent market, singles party and more!
The winter month of November is approaching with its cold breeze and festive atmosphere, and the Allgäu is ready to get going again. The first Advent markets are opening their doors, and many event highlights are planned for the weekend from November 7th to 9th. The Allgäuer Zeitung provides information about captivating events, from winter sports bazaars to exciting festivals.
The focus is particularly on the winter sports bazaar in the TVK Kempten sports park, which takes place on Sunday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. There, winter sports enthusiasts can not only buy used equipment, but also hand in discarded equipment themselves - the 15% proceeds go directly to the TVK ski department. An ideal time to shop with a good hand for the coming winter season!
Festive anticipation in the Allgäu
Another highlight is the hut magic in the winter village in Fischen, organized by the Frank nursery. On Friday there is a Ladies Night with a fashion show, live music and culinary delicacies - the perfect occasion to get into the festive mood (admission: 8 euros, including a voucher for treats). The winter village will be officially opened on Saturday and offers attractions for young and old.
Families can expect special joy for the little ones in the open children's workshop at Kempodium Kempten, which takes place on Friday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Here the children can mix non-alcoholic cocktails - a fun and creative way to try out little sugar and color experiments. A small contribution of 20 euros secures your place. If you're looking for a relaxed atmosphere, you shouldn't miss the singles party at Kaminwerk Memmingen. It says “Everything can, nothing has to”, and DJ Effendi provides atmospheric beats.
Off to the ice rink and other attractions
In the winter village of Ahaus on the ice arena at the castle, the winter magic seems to be enjoyed to the fullest. There is an opportunity for ice skating for beginners and professionals alike, and the children don't miss out either - a lane is reserved especially for them. In the evening the area is transformed into a curling rink, which represents an exciting challenge for many teams, whether friends, clubs or companies. Münsterland provides information about this event and the many craft activities that provide great family experiences.
For anyone looking for a little more action, it's worth taking a look at the amusement parks, which also open their gates in winter. The Europa-Park in Rust offers numerous attractions until the new year, while the Sonnenlandpark and the Playmobil FunPark have their festive winter programs. Family travel fever emphasizes that these options are also ideal alternatives for winter excursions - fun for the whole family!
So there is no reason to stay at home during this cold season. There is great anticipation of what winter has to offer - with markets, festivals and many leisure activities that captivate both locals and visitors. Grab your loved ones and experience an unforgettable time in anticipation of Christmas!
