I ♥ Berlin
Starry sky
The 400-meter-long carpet of light, which stretches like a starry sky over the aisles of the market and out to the front, gives the Christmas market a festive appearance. The light artist Andreas Boehlke also stages the 50 festive light islands with Christmas balls, which are suitable as a photo motif and for the selfie. This year, the fountain known to Berliners as the Wasserklops will once again be staged in a Christmassy manner with a glowing waterfall.
The world’s longest Christmas illumination along the Kurfürstendamm also provides an atmospheric setting.
Charitable mulled wine sale
In 2021, AG City e.V. will again hold a charitable mulled wine sale on Breitscheidplatz with the support of the Schaustellerverband Berlin e.V. (Berlin Showmen’s Association).
The proceeds from the sale will go to the Wärmebus of the DRK Landesverband Berliner Rotes Kreuz. The Wärmebus helps homeless people during the winter season by distributing, for example, tea, sleeping bags, sleeping mats and blankets, or organizing transportation to emergency shelters.
