In 2004, the idea of organizing a Christmas market on the cozy canal turned out to be a great success. What was originally conceived at the kitchen table of Karen Brugman and Willard van Grootveld, grew into a popular crowd puller. It is not without reason that the Harlingen Christmas market is considered one of the best Christmas markets and is often referred to as the nicest and most atmospheric in the North. With dozens of stalls full of various (Christmas) products, handmade decorations and delicacies. A unique Christmas market with 150 market stallsThe Zoutloter Christmas Market stands out due to its unique atmosphere and setting, created with the cooperation of residents who festively decorate and illuminate their monumental houses. Attractive fire barrels contribute to the enchanting atmosphere and nostalgic appearance. The core of the Christmas market consists of approximately 150 stalls from both local and international exhibitors and charities. Visitors can find inspiration for Christmas here, whether it concerns food, drinks, decorations or clothing. The Christmas market is also enhanced with live music and surprising street theater acts.
