German Christmas Market brings a taste of authenticity
"It can only get better from here, and we predict the market will grow in size and numbers with each following year..."
Yuletide cheer and festivity set the tone for the annual Christmas market, hosted by the Evangelican Lutheran Church on Saturday (November 30).
The event had residents from across Newcastle gathering in great anticipation of a joyous time.
“The market is a great success every year. We enjoy having the residents of Newcastle come together to celebrate with us, while enjoying the experience of the German culture,” said Lutz Böhmer, who is also a member of the Uelzen Brass Band.
With more than 60 stalls at the event, various German themed items were made available to the public in celebration of the festive season, that highlighted the culture and drew a remarkable crowd.
“It can only get better from here, and we predict the market will grow in size and numbers with each following year, as it is all for a good cause,” said members of the church.
“We use the funds that are generated to support St Martins Village and various other charities. As a congregation, we like to be actively involved in the community and we are currently also working on our new kindergarten that will be built on the church’s grounds,” added Böhmer.
