A Christmas market for one evening may be the exception, but in Lauwe it is an annual, atmospheric experience to look forward to. “The special thing is that everyone comes together here, on one day. That is different from Kortrijk, where everyone is more spread out,” says a visitor about the special approach of the event.
The rain may cause people to take shelter in tents, but it does not spoil the atmosphere. “If we take that into account, we should never do anything in Belgium,” summarizes an enthusiastic visitor.
This Christmas market not only creates a good mood, it is also a boost for the associations. This way they get some extra income. This is primarily a social event, where people meet or see each other in a casual atmosphere.
