Visitors to the Easter market in Niederkirchen can admire a large variety of Easter decorations Sunday.

The Association for the Advancement of German-French Partnership will sponsor its 19th annual Easter market from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Sunday at the Westpfalzhalle (community hall) in Niederkirchen.

About 30 exhibitors will display their handcrafted art items, articles of daily use and Easter decorations. They will offer handmade wooden items, Easter floristics, baskets, ceramics, jewelry, glass products, tatting and turning works, clay objects for the house and garden, brooms, brushes, China paint, and products made of natural stones.

“Proceeds of the event will support our German-French partnership and the tradition of mutual visits with our French sister city,” said the association’s executive committee member Jürgen Feind.

As in recent years, volunteers helped to decorate the community hall with colorful flowers and Easter decorations to lure visitors from all over to Niederkirchen.

Market visitors can taste culinary specialties, including French specialties and selected wines from France and Germany. There will also be coffee and homemade cakes. Children can participate in a children’s raffle and a paining contest.

Admission fee is €1. Children under 14 are admitted free.

“The diversified exhibition of Easter items is worth a visit, and I’m sure that every visitor will find something,” Feind said.

Niederkirchen is located north of Otterberg, past Schallodenbach.
