Held right in Belfast City Centre in the grounds of the City Hall.
The Christmas Continental Market has been a tradition for about 20 years now - I know we'll have to give it at least another 300 years before it is a proper tradition...
Hope you didn't feel I was milking it with a second post, but I love the Christmassy feel it gives me calling in here.
You may have thought that https://steemit.com/ireland/@maxbullion/belfast-continental-christmas-market was a rubbish post, if so, you're going to hate the sequel ( except @crystalize who asked for more). I was walking past the market this evening and got lured in by the smell of simmering bratwurst.Finally some shots from the wooden animal stall. You'll be glad to know I didn't purchase that giant life sized bear @jackmiller
Super nice love those markets
Me too, @lovenews. They close on Saturday for another year.
Looks great. We've nothing like that in Dublin. Sure we're never able to keep up with you folk up north!
Ha ha @Deirdyweirdy there's more happens out your Smithfield window than every goes on in backwater Belfast. I have to drive to get culture, it just appears outside your house...
Sadlythere's a bit of a cultural hiatus on Smithfield at the moment ......if you don't count the 300,000 euro Xmas tree.Belfast a backwater? G'way will ye. 'tis many the happy hour I spent in me youth ravin' in the Ulster Hall!
The Ulster Hall may have seen the first ever performance of Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven, but you can top that with Handel's Messiah being premièred just across the river from you in Fishamble St. See, definitely more culture...
wow the street looks lighted up so beautiful and glorious shot :D
Merry Christmas
Thanks @blazing, it's even more beautiful with a sprinkling of snow, but it's more pleasant to walk around in the 10 degrees C it was last night. Merry Christmas to you too!!
wow i would love to visit there looks really amazing thanks for the reply :)
I love Christmas time, all you are missing is the snow.....
Indeed. Good to hear from you again Ed. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Merry Christmas right back at you. The rise in the price of steem is making it even merrier.
Ho, ho, ho, I know, an early Christmas present for all of us.
