Sankt Martin
November 10, 2010
The St. Martin´s parade is on Wednesday, November 10th, 2010 in Kaiserswerth. To participate in the parade is free, but a bag of treats is available with a ticket. The tickets for the bag of treats will be on sale at the school gate from Monday through Wednesday, November 8-10 from 8:30-8:50 and 15:40-16:00. Each ticket costs €3.00.
Each child has made a lantern in school. Any child that is intending to attend the St. Martin´s Parade will need to buy a lantern stick with batteries. This can be purchased from Strauß or Max Apel in Kaiserswerth or Real, Karstadt, etc. The lantern stick should be kept at home unless your child has been asked to carry their lantern in the school assembly on November 10th.
On Wednesay, November 10th, we will meet at 16:45 on Fliedner Straße (behind Strauß) where the parade begins. After about 45 minutes of walking through the streets of Kaiserswerth the parade will end at the German Elementary School behind Strauß. At this time the children with a ticket will line up to receive their bag of treats in the school building. Afterwards the students may want to visit a few local shops, sing St. Martin songs and receive treats from the shopkeepers.
St. Martin´s Day is an opportunity to participate in the local community. It is common to have a parade within each suburb. Here are the parade dates for the surrounding communities. More information is available on the Internet.
