Doesn't seem like a real European Christmas festival. Where is the mulled wine? Where is the beer? Sausages? Food vendors? Is it affordable or is everyone there to make a quick buck?

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.2 CommentsComment on Facebook
what time does the parade start?
Hopefully this time the arrogant rude people will not show up late and stand in front of the people who got there early and block their view without a care in the world. Arrive early people and don’t be dicks 🙂
