From November 26 until just before Christmas, this year the Basel Christmas Market will be held again. There will be a smaller number of stands at Barfüsserplatz and Münsterplatz. In addition, access control is required and a general mask requirement applies.
The Federal Council announced Wednesday night that events with more than 50 people would be banned in the future. This suggested that the Basel Christmas market is on the brink or should even be canceled. Sabine Horvath, Director of Localization Marketing at Basel-Stadt, clarifies everything: “Markets in general and thus also the Christmas market do not belong to the category of events. They are considered purchase opportunities. “That is why the person restriction does not apply.
Horvath continues: “We don’t see anything in the new ordinance that we have not taken into account in the concept of protection for the Christmas market.” However, continue to monitor the situation and, if necessary, express a rejection at short notice.
