Christmas tree on the main square is here
This year, Graz’s main square is once again adorned with a magnificent Christmas tree. Today (Monday, 7.11.) at 5 o’clock in the morning it was finally time, the Christmas tree was set up by our employees of the green space and members of the professional fire department at the Graz main square.
The spruce is about 150 years old, about 30 meters high and was provided this year by the community Hirschegg-Pack. The Christmas glow is provided by Energie Graz, which is still lovingly handcrafting and decorating the tree with more than 25,000 lights. The Christmas tree will shine in all its glory every day from 4 p.m. starting on November 26.
