Santa's weekly appearance occurs on hump day, specifically Wednesdays.
In the heart of Pforzheim, the festive season is upon us, and Saint Nicholas is set to make a special appearance at the city's Christmas markets and Winterworld on Waisenhausplatz.
From 12:30 PM, little visitors can join the Saint Nicholas action at the Winterwald on Waisenhausplatz, where the Technical Services have hidden sweet surprises in the forest for the children. The jolly Saint Nicholas, adorned in blue, the colour of Stadtwerke Pforzheim, will be there, complete with a hat bearing the Stadtwerke Pforzheim logo.
Meanwhile, at the Sparkasse Pforzheim Calw's TurmQuartier on Poststraße, another Saint Nicholas will be ready to greet you from 1:30 PM to 4 PM. This Saint Nicholas, dressed in traditional sparkassenred, will be exclusively available for photographs within the TurmQuartier Christmas market.
As the day progresses, from 3 PM to 5 PM, another Saint Nicholas will be at the Christmas market and the Winterworld on Waisenhausplatz.
The exact schedule and participating organisations for these Saint Nicholas appearances may be found on the official Pforzheim city website, local church bulletins, community centres, or cultural event calendars closer to the date.
It's worth noting that not everyone who dons the Saint Nicholas costume on Saint Nicholas Day is a professional. Some are local volunteers, eager to spread joy and festive cheer throughout the city.
Mayor Peter Boch is also expected to visit the Saint Nicholas action at the Winterwald on Waisenhausplatz.
For those unfamiliar, Saint Nicholas Day is celebrated on the 6th of December, and in Pforzheim, the day is marked by various Saint Nicholas appearances in schools, churches, marketplaces, and community centres.
Lastly, remember to bring along your camera and perhaps a pair of boots, as children are welcome to wear them during the Saint Nicholas appearances.
So, join the festivities, engage in some nice conversations, and make memories with Saint Nicholas in Pforzheim this December 6!
In the heart of Pforzheim's home-and-garden scene, the TurmQuartier on Poststraße is hosting a Saint Nicholas Photo Opportunity, starting from 1:30 PM to 4 PM, showcasing a Saint Nicholas adorned in traditional sparkassenred. On the same day, from 3 PM to 5 PM, another Saint Nicholas will be at the city's Christmas markets and Winterworld on Waisenheimer lifestyle is also highlighted as families join the festive action with their children, wearing boots and engaging with Saint Nicholas.
