In the places mentioned above, the Christmas Market is called Weihnachtsmarkt, Kristkindlmart as well as Christkindlesmarkt sometimes. The last name is the German term for Christ child market. Generally held in the town square and pedestrian zones, the mart aligns food and drink in the open air, shopping and pageantry as well as convention. On the opening night and, in some places, every night, onlookers welcome Christ the child in the form of a golden-haired angel played by a local youth.
