In November, one local event draw the attention of mass media. We are talking about Braunschweig Film Festival. This event is dedicated to such genre of cinema as Art house. At this time, cinemas show the audience films of this kind, and filmmakers and actors are fighting for the right to be the best and receive prestigious awards. Another interesting festival is Kultur im Zelt taking place at the end of September in Bürgerpark. Here, visitors to the festival have an opportunity to listen to music, watch movies presented by organizers, and all this is in the open air.
The culmination of the festival year in Braunschweig is Christmas and, of course, the opening of Weihnachtsmarkt (takes place on the central squares - Burgplatz and Platz der Deutschen Einheit). Do not miss your chance to taste traditional local specialties - borecole, Haidesinken, meterbratwurst, and, of course, mulled wine and traditional Braunschweig beer called Mummebier. The fair opens in late November and lasts until Christmas.
