St. Wendel sponsors an arts market in the historical part of town from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
The historical streets of St. Wendel will turn into a workshop for arts and craftsmanship from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
More than 90 artisans from all over Europe will present their works at the annual market, named “Sankt Wendeler LebensArt.”
“Our arts and crafts market is the perfect place for customers looking for excellent hand-crafted objects,” said Leonie Paque from the St. Wendel city marketing office. “Exhibitors will display unique and special works.”
Visitors can watch how the artisans work, and they will explain how they created some of their items. The artists will also create fashion or furniture on special request.
Arts and crafts items are made by means of different techniques. Visitors will find a variety of ceramics, as well as sculptures and objects made of wood, glass, leather, cloth, paper, stone and metal. There will be clothes, hats, purses, jewelry and housing accessories, sound objects and wind chimes of special designs.
“This extraordinary event will bring the arts from the Ivory Tower to the center of town,” said Klaus Bouillon, mayor of St. Wendel. “Our appealing walkplatz (pedestrian zone) with the nice cafes, fine restaurants and welcoming stores form the right ambiance for this high-class market of nice things.”
Each afternoon, walking acts will provide some entertainment.
The City-Garage will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday. Plenty of visitors’ parking spots are available on Missionshausstrasse. Follow the sign “Parkleitsystem,” which leads motorists to different parking areas.
St. Wendel is located north of Neunkirchen.
