The Advent Fair at the Basilica, the spectacular and event-rich meeting point of the Inner City will open on 25th November. In the joyful bustle of the fair magical Christmas ambience awaits visitors until 2nd January.
Every night the Basilica is illuminated with colourful lights, and vendors of special Christmas gifts are setting up their stands in the heart of the city. In the fairy-tale huts on Saint Stephen’s Square visitors can browse through the remarkable products of almost eighty craftsmen, and will find unique, hand-crafted works of folk and applied art, textile and leather goods, pottery and jewellery along with designer clothes and accessories, or works of photographers and graphic artists. This year again, the fair will offer a spectacular visual experience : a new, monumental 3-dimensional video mapping will charm the admirers of the festive Christmas atmosphere.
