Lantern parades in Hamburg: adventure for the whole family!

Autumn is back in Hamburg, and with it begins one of the city's most popular traditions: the lantern parades. From November 14th, hundreds of colorful lanterns illuminate the dark streets and awaken the anticipation of the upcoming weeks of Advent, in keeping with the tradition that not only serves to brighten the evenings, but also to keep evil spirits away. These events offer a celebration for the whole family and are ideal for welcoming the cold season together. People are invited to bring their own glowing lanterns and dress warmly to fully enjoy the festive atmosphere. The parades and their details can be found on Radio Hamburg, among others.

In the coming weeks, numerous lantern parades are on the program in and around Hamburg. An overview of the events shows that there is something for everyone:

There are numerous treats and drinks for the little participants to make the cool evenings pleasant. Information about the removals can also be found in a clear list on hamburg.de.
