Packer Mountain Advent
Advent story, Advent wreath blessing and torchlight procession in the mountain village of Pack.
The day begins with a cosy Christmas bazaar in the construction trailer, organised by the Pack school association, which is open all day. Here you will find lovingly crafted little things and regional delicacies, perfect for personalised Christmas gifts. The Advent programme starts at 4:30 pm with the blessing of the Advent wreath in the parish church, accompanied by the atmospheric story ‘Angels come to earth’, which is created by the Pack children - a highlight for the children.
After the service, a romantic torchlight procession, organised by the Packer comrades of the ÖKB, leads visitors from the church exit to the festively decorated village square. From 17:30, ‘Die Packer Advent Roas’, an enchanting Advent story in the West Styrian dialect, awaits you. With its rustic performance, created by the Pack theatre group, the Pack singers and the brass section of the Pack traditional music band, this performance promises an authentic, touching experience full of local tradition.
At 6.30 pm, the festive switching on of the Christmas lights on the village square follows, a moment that gives you goosebumps and officially heralds the start of the Christmas season. Enjoy hot drinks and other Styrian specialities to keep you warm in the cold evening air.
The Packer Bergadvent in Styria is the perfect occasion to visit the Graz Adventure Region during Advent and immerse yourself in the region's traditional culture. Immerse yourself in the magic of the Mountain Advent - here you are invited to experience Advent with all your senses!
