Join the Christmas tree lighting in Sønderborg

Christmas arrives in Sønderborg when the large tree on Rådhustorvet is lit along with the festive lights throughout the town centre.

Enjoy a festive atmosphere on Rådhustorvet, with music and entertainment as children and adults gather around the Christmas tree.

Julemanden, the Danish Father Christmas, and the mayor arrive together with Sønderborg Garden, the town’s marching band, before the Christmas tree is lit. Children can join the countdown to the moment the lights come on, followed by Christmas treats for the little ones.
