The pre-Christmas table tennis festival at the Neustrelitz Tiled Stove Factory is entering its second round.
Table tennis, Christmas music, and the scent of waffles: On Friday, December 4, from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., the Kachelofenfabrik Neustrelitz will once again transform into a winter gathering spot for all ping-pong enthusiasts. The “Lametta & Geschmetta” Winter Palooza is taking place for the second time and invites everyone to swing their paddles together—with no pressure to perform and regardless of age or skill level.
The focus is on playing table tennis together in a pre-Christmas atmosphere.
Anyone looking for a special challenge can take part in the One-Point Challenge: Here, a single rally decides whether you advance. Excitement and fun are guaranteed. There’s also the option to volunteer to be randomly selected for individual matches.
There’s plenty going on away from the table tennis tables, too: In addition to the matches in the barn, guests can enjoy a colorful program of activities featuring a craft station, freshly baked waffles, punch, and a bonfire. The Drehmoment record store will provide the perfect musical backdrop with a live jukebox and Christmas tunes.
Admission is free. The organizers from the association “Bürger, Horst & Freund:innen e. V.” welcome voluntary donations in the donation box on site.
The event is funded by the federal program “Demokratie leben!” (Living Democracy!) of the Federal Ministry of Education, Family, Seniors, Women, and Youth, as well as by the city of Neustrelitz.
