The pedestrian zone around Sparkasse KölnBonn at Rudolfplatz
will be a heavenly place again this winter. Cologne's happiest Christmas market
returns this year before most of the other Christmas markets in Cologne, on Thursday,
21 November.
The plaza between Hahnenstrasse and Schaafenstrasse will be
transformed into
HEAVENUE - a composite word of "Heaven" and
"Avenue" - and will shine with a new radiance. Colorful market booths in pop art style, decorated
with romantic elements and snow-white garlands, characterize the new look of the
market. A sophisticated lighting design consisting of LEDs, chains of lights and
special effects will transform the square into a colourful, dazzling sea of lights in the
evening – which is sure to put a sparkle in the eyes of visitors. Everyone who walks through
the heavenly entrance portal will be transported into a Christmas wonderland!
Absolute Highlight & Selfie Hot Spot: the unique
fountain in the middle of the
underpass. No other Cologne Christmas market is offering
this! This year the lavishly decorated and rotating XXL Christmas tree on the square in
front of the stage could also become a crowd puller. Anyone who walks through the
heavenly entrance portal, at least enters the Christmas sky on earth!
HEAVENUE is a celebration of special and unusual attractions
– starting with the
unique mulled wine, created specifically for this Christmas
market using red and
white wines. There will also be a range of culinary delights
to choose from, some of which are not available at any of the other Christmas
markets in Cologne, as well as an excellent stage program with well-known artists and
stars.
HEAVENUE has been organised by Thomas Fasshauer & Oleg
Leirich and their
company Chicos Event GmbH, which has specialized in the
planning, organization and execution of events for the LGBTQ community for more
than 10 years. The market enjoys the support of the Cologne AIDS Hilfe and
KLuST e.V. (organizers of Cologne Pride), among others.
HEAVENUE will present a mixture of well-known exhibitors and
new faces during the usual opening hours from 4 to 10 p.m. daily from November 21
to December 23. Fans will be pleased to know that Ernst Klinkerfuss is returning
with his now-famous “Almond Lounge,” as will Betty Henneke and her unique,
pulled pork food truck. And local celebrity Richard Habben will also be on hand to
inspire visitors with his unique Christmas wreaths and other decoration highlights.
The soul of every German Christmas market is the mulled
wine, served from
traditional “Glühwein” huts. With three separate stations,
HEAVENUE offers its
international visitors a real wine highlight - good for the
palate, bottoms up!
On the HEAVENUE stage, well-known artists and stars will
provide a varied program of high-quality entertainment. Amongst others entertainer NINA
QUEER will present her cheeky Christmas show. High spirits and lots of fun are
guaranteed!
