2. Dog Christmas Market

On December 5, the club grounds at Wäschertskaulen will be transformed into a small Christmas market, featuring treats, gift ideas, and a visit from St. Nicholas.

The Idar and Surrounding Area Dog Lovers Association (Verein der Hundefreunde Idar und Umgebung e.V.) will open the gates to its club grounds at Wäschertskaulen 1 for the second time on Saturday, December 5, 2026, starting at 4:00 p.m., and invites the entire region to a cozy Advent afternoon.

Whether you’re a dog owner, a family, or just friends looking to get into the pre-Christmas spirit: Everyone is welcome, and of course, your four-legged friends are welcome to come along. Hearty dishes are sizzling on the grill, accompanied by drinks, freshly baked waffles, and apple pretzels. To warm up, mulled wine is available, and for our youngest guests, there’s children’s punch.

Between the booths, a colorful array of goods invites you to browse: cozy fleece items, scented candles, decorations, handmade crafts, soaps, and all kinds of pet supplies. If you’re still looking for a little something for your loved ones—whether they have two legs or four—you’re sure to find it here.

At 6:00 p.m., St. Nicholas will be stopping by the dog park to make the children’s eyes light up. Parents who would like their children to attend should please register them by November 21 via email at vdhidar.meggie060@yahoo.de.

The dog lovers are looking forward to a festive afternoon and evening with many guests and cordially invite you to ring in the Advent season together.
