For the annual pre-Christmas meeting of residents with the Mayor of the City Piotr Roman, we sing carols together, share the Christmas wafer and exchange good wishes. This year, the event will take place from 15 to 17 December. Traditionally, a parade of Santa Claus’s Helpers will pass through the city, after which children from Bolesławiec kindergartens will offer their good wishes on stage. We have a surprise for the youngest residents: a performance by Teatr Rozrywki Trójkąt, “How Santa Claus Fell off the Christmas Tree.” This year, you can look forward to concerts, activities, competitions, workshops, a free carousel and a Christmas market with sweets, decorations, gifts and something to warm you up.
