Come soak up the holiday atmosphere on 26 November, the first Sunday in Advent. At the holiday food market in the parking lot by the city library you can taste some holiday street food and pick up some presents, both edible and otherwise. Throughout the day there will be various musical performances. Acts to look forward to include trumpeter Julius Baros, the Teplice Big Band (made up of students and graduates of the Teplice musical conservatory), and more.

On November 27, come down for the traditional tree lighting ceremony, also in front of the city library. There will be lots of holiday stands and a packed cultural program including a puppet show and a Christmas play for children. Local children’s choirs will perform as well. And when darkness falls, at five o’clock, the Christmas tree will light up for the first time… there may be angels too. Evening entertainment includes Prague folk-jazz-pop band MarZ and a holiday concert by singer Daniel Hulka accompanied by Jiri Skorpik.

Weekend events kick off at 10 am. Between performances there will be plenty to see – wood carving, Christmas workshops where visitors can make their own advent candles and other decorations, and more. The day will be moderated by Tomas Kettner.
