On December 14, 2024, the time has come again and the 21st fairy tale parade in Bad Bibra will start, which is incidentally the largest German fairy tale parade.

With over 40 fairy tale and fable pictures designed quite freely by residents, the place is transformed into a living fairy tale book and takes guests and residents on a colourful, exciting journey through the world of fairy tales.

Pied Piper of Hamelin, Sleeping Beauty, Little Red Riding Hood...

In many pictures, the well-known fairy tales of childhood will come to life and will not only captivate the little visitors. Here you will find the well-known characters from fairy tale classics such as "Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella", the "Pied Piper of Hamelin", "Sleeping Beauty" and "Little Red Riding Hood". Many families, clubs, schools and kindergartens have been preparing their fairy tale pictures with loving detail for a long time.

At 3 p.m. sharp, Germany's largest fairytale parade will pass through the Christmassy Finnish town of Bad Bibra.

The parade begins on Thalwinkeler Strasse, crosses the roundabout on Steinbacher Strasse and ends directly at the entrance to the Bürgergarten, where the Christmas market is taking place and invites you to stroll and linger.

Christmas market, craftsmen's courtyard and market at the church

The Christmas market, the craftsmen's courtyard and the small market at the church will be ceremoniously opened from midday.

In the harmonious ambience of the rectory, traditional tradesmen will present their work and products. There will be demonstrations in the guest house and a portrait artist will make wonderful gifts for loved ones at home. From 12.30 p.m., Santa Claus will hold his office hours in a horse-drawn sleigh on the stage in the Bürgergarten.

A fairytale visit awaits young and old fans at 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. at the interactive show, followed by a photo opportunity with the characters. This year, everyone can look forward to Princess Ariel with the Christmas fairy and the unicorn princess on the large open-air stage. Here you can meet the fairy tale characters up close.

In the guest house, Sven Haase shows the old wood turning craft and the Bad Bibra country women give it their all again in terms of baking and invite you to coffee and cake in the guest house.

Community educator Elvira Tschinkel also invites you to the guest house for small Christmas crafts.

This is how an eventful day can end in a fairytale way with hot drinks and delicious food. Christmas treats and all kinds of gift ideas round off the Christmas market stroll.
