What new features will Leuven’s Christmas market offer this year?
According to Marc Pinte, the organizer, the Christmas Tower will be the main attraction at this year’s market, offering something new and exciting for locals and tourists. He mentioned that the combination of beautiful sights, cozy resting spots, and holiday cheer makes the tower a highly anticipated feature, adding to the charm of Leuven’s famous Christmas market.
“We first saw a Christmas tower in Germany, and after some discussions, we were able to bring one to the Leuven Christmas market,” says Pinte. He adds that the tower will be built first for practical reasons, allowing the people of Leuven to see it from the start of construction. The team is excited about this new attraction.
According to Pinte Brasserie Rudolf will be large, and Santa’s house will also be there and Santa now has a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen. There will be a post box for kids to send their letters, and adults enjoy visiting Santa’s rooms. Leuven will be decorated with many Christmas trees and lights. Pinte mentioned that the Christmas tower won’t replace the Christmas tree, and the decorations will be long and will probably stay up for the Christmas season.
