Christmas time in Ribe
- Have yourself a merry
little Christmas...
Old fashioned Christmas
When Christmas time rolls around, Ribe goes into high gear by using the old, beautiful houses to set the stage for all kinds of Christmas activities - and like the good old days, it looks, smells, feels, sounds, and tastes of Christmas.
Christmas in Ribe builds upon the beloved Danish children’s book, “Peters jul”, in verse about a middleclass family Christmas in the 1860’s. The author had family in Ribe, and probably celebrated Christmas in the Cathedral town here with his brother, who made the illustrations for the first adition of the book.

Christmas like in the old days
During the last month of the year, the Christmas spirit spreads through the old part of town, and in the basement shop in Porsborg on the main square, the trades people and many Ripenser (Ribe locals) volunteers make sure that no one leaves Ribe, without a little piece of Christmas cheer. We bake, cut, glue, weave, fry and brew, in order for everyone to experience that old fashioned taste of Christmas.
