Invitation to New Year's Reception 2026
On Thursday, January 1, 2026, the Municipal Executive cordially invites all residents to ring in the new year together during the traditional New Year's reception.
We will start at 1:00 p.m. in the Town Hall (Markt ), where you will be welcomed with a drink and a doughnut. The Mayor and Aldermen will be present until 2:30 p.m. to meet you personally and welcome the new year.
Outdoor location Park Pavilion Erenstein
From 2:45 p.m., the New Year's reception will move to Park Paviljoen Erenstein (Brughofweg 25) opposite Erenstein Castle. At this atmospheric outdoor location, you can enjoy hot chocolate, coffee, tea, and water. The surroundings are ideal for a refreshing walk through the Anstel Valley—a wonderful way to start the year in a healthy way.
Fresh start
Mayor Petra Dassen-Housen: "A fresh start is something you make together. That's why we invite everyone to start the new year in a healthy way — with a walk, a chat, and a warm welcome at two beautiful locations in our city."
Together, we raise a toast to a vibrant and positive 2026. The Board looks forward to meeting you and kicking off the new year with you in festive style!
