December market around the Grote Kerk

For four days in December, Dordrecht's December market fills the oldest part of the city around the Grote Kerk, the Grotekerksbuurt and the Groenmarkt. Local makers, shops and traders sell winter and Christmas goods, with tastings and gift ideas, and food trucks stand in the garden of the Grote Kerk.

There is live music on the Stadhuisplein and a sing-along at the town hall. The market is part of the Dordtse Decemberdagen, which run until 3 January with the Dwaalspoor, an evening walk past illuminated light art, guided city walks, boat tours past the lit harbours, and a Wintertuin in the church garden between Christmas and New Year.

The Grote Kerk is about 15 minutes' walk from Dordrecht station through the old town.
