TURN ON THE LIGHTS x GALA
The Grand Christmas Gala with Sylvie Meis
Festive highlights, exciting prize opportunities and a sparkling start to the Christmas season: On November 7, Zweibrücken Fashion Outlet and GALA invite you to TURN ON THE LIGHTS. With special guest Sylvie Meis, interactive stage activities, festive creative workshops and a varied programme for the whole family, the day is dedicated to the magic of Christmas. Combine your visit with a shopping day at our premium brands and enjoy a festive programme full of special moments.
The grand highlight: At 6 pm, Sylvie Meis will switch on the festive Christmas lights throughout the centre following a shared countdown.
Join us on 7 November and celebrate the start of the Christmas season!
Classic Christmas or Modern Christmas? Two guests spontaneously selected from the audience will create their own festive Christmas table on stage at the Plaza.
Sylvie Meis and a representative from Villeroy & Boch will guide them through the challenge. Afterwards, the audience will decide by applause which Christmas table wins them over. Both participants will receive a gift from Villeroy & Boch as well as a Shopping Card.
Join us for your chance to take the stage yourself! Head to the stage in front of Donna Mia restaurant from 3 pm and try your luck – you might be selected to take part in the festive challenge with Sylvie Meis.
How well do you really know each other? During Christmas Match with Sylvie Meis, two participants will discover just how often they agree on festive questions.
Sylvie will ask five either-or questions. Both participants choose their answers independently, and every matching answer counts as a match.
Every duo wins a Christmas gift! Achieve five matching answers and receive an extra-special prize: a Shopping Card worth €200.
Come to the stage at the Plaza with your companion at 4:20 pm and try your luck! Participating duos will be selected spontaneously from the audience.
During the festive GALA Talk, Sylvie Meis will join GALA editor Swolke Karberg and a representative from Villeroy & Boch to talk about the Christmas season.
The focus will then turn to supporting a good cause: together with Sylvie Meis, the first donation for this year's RPR Hilft e. V. charity campaign will be presented.
Join us at the Plaza from 5 pm for the GALA Christmas Talk and the launch of our fundraising campaign!
When Zweibrücken Fashion Outlet lights up in festive splendour, the Christmas season officially begins at the centre.
Together with Sylvie Meis, we'll count down the final seconds before the Christmas lights are switched on, transforming the entire outlet into a magical festive setting.
Celebrate with us! Join the grand countdown at 6 pm and welcome the Christmas season alongside Sylvie Meis.

Under the motto “Together for the Littlest Ones”, RPR Hilft e. V. supports premature babies, newborns with medical conditions and their families in Rhineland-Palatinate.
Alongside medical care, many affected families need support, opportunities to connect with others and ongoing guidance. That's why the fundraising campaign also benefits parent-led initiatives and organisations that support families during their time in neonatal intensive care and beyond.
The official launch will take place at Zweibrücken Fashion Outlet. Following the GALA Talk, the first donation will be presented together with Sylvie Meis.
