Zurich – There is a lot to experience at Zurich Airport during Advent: from the Christmas village with winter delicacies and the large “Sparkling Tree”, to gift inspiration in airport shopping, to the Zauberpark music and light Art festival in the airport park.
Every year, the Advent season immerses Zurich Airport in a festive atmosphere and visitors can look forward to a diverse Advent program. One of the highlights is the fourth edition of the magic park. The music and light art festival will once again transform the airport park into a place for concerts, light art and culinary delights from November 21st to December 8th.
Every evening, well-known musicians from home and abroad take the stage, such as Nemo, Max Giesinger, Alice Merton, Stubete Gäng and Bligg. The children’s program takes place in the early evening hours before the music acts, with performances by children’s songwriter Andrew Bond, clowns Pepe & Tommy and the magic trio Zaubersocken.
Art enthusiasts will also get their money’s worth: Fourteen new light installations by artists from all over Europe can be admired as part of the magic park along the panoramic path. Many of them invite guests to interact.
Christmas Village in the Circle
At the same time as the magic park, the Christmas village will open on the Circle main square on November 21st. In the middle of the square stands the nine meter high “Sparkling Tree”. A Christmas tree made of around 1,500 mirror balls, which is atmospherically staged every hour from 5 p.m. Winter specialties such as raclette and cheese curds as well as hot drinks are served in the Christmas huts around the “Sparkling Tree”. In the fondue hut, groups of up to 10 people can enjoy a fondue in a cozy atmosphere.
Aviation fans also get their money’s worth during the Christmas season: In addition to the regular public tours, which take place on the weekend, there will also be an additional tour on the 24th/25th/26th during the holidays. There will be public tours and tours in December and from December 31st to January 2nd.
