Christmas market on the first weekend of Advent in the Spessart
The Adventsmarkt Heigenbrücken takes place annually on the first weekend of Advent and is one of the traditional smaller Christmas markets in the Bavarian Spessart. The organizers are the Municipality of Heigenbrücken and the local Vereinsring (association ring). The location is the bus parking lot on Hüttenwiesenweg in the town center, within walking distance of the town hall and train station.
On both market days, association, gastronomy, and arts and crafts stalls are spread around the square: mulled wine, bratwurst, homemade cookies, and Christmas decorations from regional production. Local choirs, brass ensembles, and music clubs take turns on a stage; the children's program traditionally includes a visit from St. Nicholas.
Heigenbrücken is located in the Aschaffenburg district in the Bavarian Spessart, about 30 km east of Aschaffenburg and about an hour's drive from Frankfurt am Main. The municipality is accessible via the A3 motorway (Rohrbrunn exit) and by train (Aschaffenburg–Würzburg line) – Heigenbrücken station is just a few minutes' walk from the festival grounds.
The 2026 edition will feature the area at the Hüttenwiesenweg bus parking lot on both days of the first Advent weekend with the established concept of association stalls, arts and crafts stands, and a stage program.
The exact daily program (performances by choirs, brass ensembles, catering times, and St. Nicholas' appearance) will be published by the Heigenbrücken town hall in the weeks leading up to the first weekend of Advent.
