(CNN) — Munich's iconic Christmas market has been canceled for the second year in a row due to a significant rise in Covid-19 cases in Germany.
The "bitter news" was announced by the city's mayor Dieter Reiter, who said he'd been left with no choice but to call off the popular event, which usually attracts around three million people annually, as the country grapples with record breaking infection rates.
"It is bitter news that I have today for all Munich residents and especially also for the stall owners," Reiter said in a statement.
