Adventszauber Vegesack

About Adventszauber Vegesack

The Adventszauber is an atmospheric arts and crafts market, hosted by the Vegesacker Schützenverein (Shooting Club) of 1852 e.V. on the weekend of the 1st Advent in their Schützenhalle (club hall) in Bremen-Aumund-Hammersbeck. In festively decorated pavilions, over 40 exhibitors present art, crafts, design, and culinary delights related to the pre-Christmas season — from jewelry and embroidered textiles to turned wood items and handmade knives, as well as Advent wreaths, candles, and acrylic paintings. Mulled wine, bratwurst, and fries, along with the market's typical selection of homemade cakes, ensure physical well-being. Admission is free, and the exhibition areas are accessible.

Pre-Christmas Wonderland in the Schützenhalle

When the Schützenhalle of the Vegesacker Schützenverein on Hermann-Löns-Straße shines in festive light on the first Advent weekend, it transforms into a pre-Christmas wonderland. Decorated pavilions line up, showcasing the work of around 40 to 47 exhibitors — including jewelry, embroidered textiles, paper stars, wire decorations, beeswax paintings, and sustainable household goods.

The Cake Obligation — A Tradition of Its Own

A special feature of the Adventszauber is the so-called "Kuchenpflicht" (cake obligation): exhibitors bring homemade cakes or contribute financially, from which the club bakes additional cakes. The tradition originated because many guests came specifically for coffee and cake before browsing the market. Today, the cake buffet is an integral part of the event's character.

A Market with Club History

The Adventszauber is supported by a team of about twenty volunteers led by organizer Bianka Klemt, who manage setup, decoration, and operations. The club also uses the festival to raise its profile: in 2027, the Vegesacker Schützenverein will celebrate its 175th anniversary. The success of the Adventszauber also inspired a spring offshoot, the Pfingstzauber (Pentecost Magic).

Hanseatic Pre-Christmas in Bremen's North

In the north of Bremen, far from the large city center Christmas markets, the Adventszauber offers a quiet, handmade alternative for the pre-Christmas season. With free admission and accessible halls, it is a meeting point for families and craft enthusiasts from Aumund, Vegesack, and the entire region.
