Rees – Lichtermarkt am Reeser Meer 2026

Lichtermarkt am Reeser Meer 2026 takes place on Sunday, 15 November 2026, from 13:00 to 19:00 at Marissa Lake Village in Rees. The City of Rees confirms the date of this pre-Christmas shopping event by the Reeser Meer. For one day, the first completed holiday homes will be transformed into individually designed sales spaces. According to the organisers, admission is free. This lets you combine shopping with a look at the holiday park under development.

Lichtermarkt am Reeser Meer 2026: Opening times and venue

The City’s official events calendar lists Sunday, 15 November, and the hours from 13:00 to 19:00. The meeting point is Marissa Lake Village, Bergswick 19, 46459 Rees. This means the Lichtermarkt is by the Reeser Meer, not in Rees’s historic town centre. Use the address provided for your navigation. The market is announced as a one-day event; no other opening days can be inferred from the latest city announcement.

Shopping in the first holiday homes

The special concept: the first completed houses in the holiday park will become small shopping houses for one day. The City mentions fashion, jewellery, interior design, beauty and food and drink among the themes. According to the regional event announcement, art and special gift ideas will also be on offer. You can discover a range of products while getting to know the new holiday home project. The exhibitors actually present when you visit may vary. The City’s announcement does not include a complete, definitive list of goods.

Lichtermarkt am Reeser Meer 2026: Food, drink and festive lights

According to the announcement, food and drink will be available in front of the holiday homes. These include a coffee van, food trucks, fresh waffles and other sweet treats. The event is also set to take place in an atmospherically lit setting in the afternoon and early evening. However, the official announcement does not confirm a separate stage programme or fireworks. So plan your visit mainly as a special combination of shopping, food and drink, and a look around the holiday park.

Admission and parking

The event announcement by the participating women entrepreneurs’ forum explicitly states that admission is free. The regional events calendar also says that parking is available on site. No exact number of spaces has been published, nor is there any guarantee that a space will always be available. If you expect larger crowds, it may therefore be a good idea to arrive early. For specific travel information, check the organisers’ information before your visit.

Official information and other Advent markets

The official City of Rees website confirms the date, times and location. You can find more details about the concept from the participating vendors and organisers. Use the Kirmestermine funfair finder to look for other Christmas markets on the Lower Rhine. Note that the Lichtermarkt at the holiday park is a separate event and not the traditional Christmas market in Rees town centre.
