Christmas shopping
A stroll around the shops of Stade
The city management has come up with a variety of activities in downtown Stade throughout the Christmas season. St. Nicholas has hidden ten Stade city vouchers, each worth €20, in the shops of the old town. Black Friday entices shoppers with great offers, and window shopping becomes a competition among decor enthusiasts. This promises many hours of entertainment and a particularly enjoyable shopping experience in the Hanseatic city, along with a visit to the Christmas market where you can warm up with a hot drink and savour the scent of roasted almonds that fills the air.

Black Friday on 29 November
The day all bargain hunters have been waiting for has arrived. Black Friday is coming up again on 29 November and many shops in the Stade town centre are taking part and have great offers to promote. So it’s worth coming to Stade town centre and going on a shopping spree. The various promotions will be shared on 28 November through the Stade Marketing und Tourismus GmbH social media channels.
Long Advent Saturdays
It’s already become a tradition: on Advent Saturdays, shopping hours in almost all of the shops in Stade’s old town are extended to 6 pm. Many retailers give not only night owls, but all Christmas shoppers the opportunity to experience an extensive Christmas shopping spree on Saturdays as well. There is no doubt that you are bound to find the perfect gift for your loved ones with plenty of time on your hands in the city centre.
Window display competition
Window shopping is inspiring and, with the lovingly decorated displays, it’s easy to get into the Christmas spirit. This raises the question: which is the most beautiful Christmas shop window? Every shop window in downtown Stade is taking part and can be voted for. Visitors to Stade can submit their favourite shop window in the centre of Stade as a photo attachment to gewinnspiel@stade-tourismus.de, addressed to Stade Marketing und Tourismus GmbH. The person whose picture is randomly selected will receive a Stade city voucher worth €50. The shop with the most votes will be announced on the third weekend of December, so that the winning shop window can still be enjoyed for one more week.
The search for St Nicholas
This year, the city management has once again invited St Nicholas, who will be hiding ten Stade city vouchers, each worth €20, in participating shops, restaurants and service providers in Stade city centre. Anyone who finds a voucher can keep it, along with the loaded value of €20. The campaign starts on St Nicholas’ Day and you can search until the last voucher is found.
