Walpurgis
30 April 2012
In Goslar Walpurgis is traditionally celebrated in a historical setting. On Walpurgis night the decorated market square takes on an eerie look, preparing to live it up, with live music to please everyone.
Schützenfest (markmen's fair)
29 June to 8 July 2012
Goslar‘s marksmen‘s fair is one of the largest in the south of Niedersachsen. With two large firework displays, the latest fairground rides as well as the popular pottery and flea market and the “His and Hers“ exhibition, there is something for everyone at the fairground in Goslar, whatever their age.
Handicrafts market
4 to 5 August 2012
In the picturesque little streets of the old town some 150 exhibitors display delightful handcrafted articles made of pottery, leather, textiles, glass, wood as well as jewellery, dolls, puppets and lots more. Many of them will allow you to look over their shoulder as they work.
Christmas market with forest
28 November to 30 December 2012
You will immediately be filled with Christmas spirit as you happily sip mulled wine in Germany‘s unique forest of Christmas trees right in the town centre. You will be tempted to linger as you walk over the soft ground of the forest with its forty spruces, sparkling with ten thousand lights. But the Christmas market right next door invites you to sample its delicacies or choose from the handicrafts displayed at eighty stands. Here the magic word is individuality – these little huts have been lovingly decorated by the stallholders themselves, sparing little effort or expense.
