Bruges (Eurotoday): Bruges’ last Saturday market before Christmas will proceed despite the De Warmste Week charity event. The city has coordinated both, ensuring a festive atmosphere for shoppers and stallholders.
Market stallholders in Bruges are happy that the last Saturday market before Christmas will still happen. This market at ‘t Zand is essential for sellers and shoppers during the holiday season. There were worries because a big charity event called De Warmste Week was also taking place on the same day, which could have caused problems. The thought of the market being canceled was concerning for the stallholders since this day is one of their busiest and most profitable of the year.
How will Bruges manage the Christmas market and De Warmste week charity event?
After discussion with everyone involved, the city found a way to let the market and the charity event happen. There might be some changes to where the market is set up, but this plan keeps the market open, which is important for holiday shopping, while also allowing the charity event to go on. Stallholders are happy because they can sell to holiday shoppers without losing a busy day. The city is excited to welcome market visitors and the many people coming for De Warmste Week.
It has been said that finding a solution is difficult. The market will move to Boeveriestraat the Saturday before the charity event, but only Boeveriestraat can be used during the event, which is too small for a full market. Other squares are busy with Christmas markets. The city wanted to cancel the Saturday market but changed its mind because it’s an important day for stallholders. Plans for December 21 are still being decided, with some stalls on the Burg and others in Boeveriestraat.
