As every year, the Christmas markets of the nordic seamen's churches are a popular destination for Scandinavia fans and northern lights.
On two weekends in November, visitors can enjoy traditional delicacies and regional specialities from Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark in a typical Nordic Christmas atmosphere.
The Christmas bazaars of the Finnish Seamen's Church (Dietmar-Koel-Str. 6), the Norwegian Seamen's Church (Dietmar-Koel-Str. 4), the Danish Benediktekirken (Dietmar-Koel-Str. 2) and the Swedish Gustav-Adolf-Kyrkan (Dietmar-Koel-Str. 36) will take place from November 15-17 and November 22-24 2024. For many guests, a visit to the Christmas bazaars is the contemplative start to Advent.
Lucia concert
Already a firm tradition for many people in Hamburg, the Swedish Lucia Concert takes place on th 10th and 16th of December in the main church of St. Petri, where the choir rings in the Christmas season with bell-like songs. The Queen of Lights dressed in white followed by the Lucia Choir brings joy and brightness through the many candles into the dark days of the ending year.
On December 16th there will also be three Christmas concerts in the main church of St Michaelis!
