Aachen Christmas Market
Aachen's big Christmas market wraps around the cathedral and town hall, with the famous Printen gingerbread and stalls tucked into the old-town lanes.
Stolberg, known as the copper town, holds its Rosenmontagszug in the historic centre below the castle. The parade is organised by the town's carnival committee. On Monday 8 February 2027 it runs through the town centre from 2:30 to 5 pm. Because it starts in the afternoon, it is easy to combine with the morning parades in Aachen or Eschweiler. The organiser has not yet given the 2027 route.
