The highlight of the market is the life-size nativity scene with live animals, which has had its permanent place in the weather-protected Forum Pax Christi for over 30 years. The famous nativity play with Karl Timmermann is performed every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. In addition, the event area offers you a varied music program with numerous local and national artists throughout the duration of the event. The Kevelaerer Krippenmarkt is an unforgettable experience that will put you in the festive mood of the Christmas season.
