Preparations for the 5th Szczecin Christmas Fair have been suspended

We wait  for the event all year. Our Christmas Fair has become a tradition, and a part of our City's Christmas landscape. Today we know that the fair will not be held in its customary form. The preparations for the 5th Szczecin Christmas fair have been stopped.

This year is unlike all the previous ones. Only a few weeks ago we believed that the Szczecin Christmas Fair would be held in three city squares, but the coronavirus disrupted our plans again.

“Looking at the current situation and having analysed the sanitary restrictions in place, we decided to withhold the preparations for this year's Christmas Fair. There is no formal possibility to organise this event. But we are not losing all hope. As soon as the opportunity arises, we are planning to make Christmas preparations more enjoyable to our residents, and organise the event at a smaller scale,” said Leopold Korytkowski, Director for Tourism & Events at Żegluga Szczecińska Turystyka Wydarzenia.

Suspending preparations does not mean that the event is cancelled altogether. We are ready to launch it any time. As until now, we are tracking the state of the epidemic and changes to sanitary regulations on an ongoing basis, and if the Covid-19 incidence begins to fall and restrictions are lifted, we will resume our preparations.  It can affect the dates and the scale of the Fair.

We will inform about any changes on an ongoing basis on  our website and on the  Facebook event page  5. Szczeciński Jarmark Bożonarodzeniowy.
