About the market

The "Markt der Sterne" in Kempen is among the outstanding Christmas markets of North Rhine-Westphalia. On all four weekends of Advent, the historic old town is transformed into a festive setting that puts visitors in a pre-Christmas mood. The lovingly decorated streets and lanes shine in the glow of countless lights, while the scent of cinnamon and mulled wine fills the air. Numerous traders present a varied selection of handmade wooden decorations, original gift ideas and decorative accessories. Culinary delights invite you to linger and offer treats for every taste. A varied music programme on the stage at the Buttermarkt as well as Christmas sounds in the old town streets provide the fitting musical accompaniment. The "Markt der Sterne" places particular emphasis on sustainability: a reusable system for drinks service, the use of green electricity, reduced packaging and energy-saving LED lighting are central parts of the concept. In addition, logistics during the event are carried out in an environmentally friendly way by bicycle. The "Markt der Sterne" thus offers an atmospheric and sustainable Christmas experience in the heart of Kempen.
