Visitors can expect a wide range of gift items: Large Christmas figures, nativity scenes, jewelry, cards, floristry, candles, handicrafts, basketry, glass and porcelain, wooden and woolen items, tin toys, homemade items and much more. In addition to historical craftsmen, local artists and artisans are also represented at the Christmas market. Local associations - many of them charitable - and schools offer sweet treats and punch as well as Christmas gifts and handmade items. Guests are traditionally guided through a village decorated with fir trees, chaff and bales of straw. Food and drink are also well catered for. There are culinary specialties ranging from barbecues to sweet treats. A large historic tavern with a campfire invites you to linger.
On Saturday and Sunday, Santa Claus brings small gifts for the children present at dusk. An atmospheric stage program rounds off the popular Olper Christmas market with a wide variety of musical performances, jugglers and fire shows.
