Hamburg Christmas Parade

The Christmas parade is a great experience for the whole family! If you fancy a special Christmas event to get you in the mood during the Advent Saturdays, get yourself together and head into the city center. The Christmas parade in the city center delights hundreds of visitors every year with an incredible show.

The highlight of every parade is Santa Claus, who waves cheerfully into the crowd from his reindeer sleigh laden with presents. He is accompanied by magnificent floats, jolly elves, beautiful angels, ice princesses, star dancers and a brass band. Even the reindeer often make more than one appearance. As they make their way through the city center, the parade participants sometimes perform elaborate choreographies that are definitely worth stopping for and ignoring the stress of Christmas for a moment.
