The Shooting Star Market features more than 100 stalls, including craft stalls, numerous food and drink stalls, and the traditional children’s carousel.

The festive and atmospheric lighting of the Sternschnuppenmarkt is provided by approximately 20 illuminated lilies and the four illuminated gates at the market entrances. There are also 20 small lilies in the pedestrian zone and 51 along Wilhelmstraße. Additionally, stars, snowflakes, and string lights in the trees create dazzling effects. Of course, as with all lighting effects during the Christmas season, environmentally friendly LED string lights and LED bulbs are used for the Sternschnuppenmarkt’s lighting.
