For many, Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. As reported, a magical festival will be held for the first time in the Lendhafen Klagenfurt on the first three weekends of Advent. “Our pilot project is called Hafenknistern, it runs from Thursday to Sunday,” says Hafenstadt boss Michi Pontasch. The city is working on it, the Lendhafen is being transformed into a Christmas feel-good zone with fire bowls, glitter and cozy seating. 25 artisans from the fields of jewelry, decoration, fashion, accessories, cosmetics and flowers are there, regional and international delicacies are served. Children’s cinema, music and reading. The organizer is the art association. There is even a children’s cinema where “Alice in Wonderland”, “Frozen” and “Santa Claus” are shown. Jazz with greats like Michael Erian will be heard, and the Gustav Mahler University will perform with many artists. Ulrike Motschiunig reads from her book about the little fox. “It will be the perfect connection with the Christmas market on Neuer Platz,” says city deputy Philipp Liesnig: “The Lendhafen is a place with a lot of potential and the best example of inner city revitalization.” City councilor Max Habenicht: “The Lendhafen is the perfect connection to Lake Wörthersee for all of us.
