Delitzscher Adventsmarkt

Delitzsch on the Edge of the Saxon Lake District

Delitzsch is a traditional town in the Nordsachsen district, located between Leipzig and Halle on the edge of the emerging Saxon Lake District. With its Baroque palace and historic market square buildings, the town offers an attractive backdrop for its Advent market, which has become one of the most diverse in Central Germany over the years.

International Culinary Delights

What distinguishes the Delitzscher Adventsmarkt from the classic model is its culinary diversity: In addition to regional specialties such as Salzwedel Baumkuchen and Pulsnitz Pfefferkuchen, more than 80 stalls offer international delicacies — Trdelník from Bohemia, Khachapuri from Georgia, Takoyaki from Japan, Poffertjes from the Netherlands, Macarons from France, Flammlachs from Scandinavia. A small globe of Advent culinary delights in the heart of Nordsachsen.

Handicrafts in «Markt Zwanzig»

In the weather-protected area of the event house «Markt Zwanzig», glassblowers, ceramists, and wood designers present their craftsmanship. This mix of an outdoor market and a covered handicraft area makes the market pleasant and accessible even in bad weather and secures a firm place for creative crafts alongside culinary offerings.

Stage, Children's Program, City Life

A continuous program on the stage — including live bands like «PlanZwoo» and «Golden Mary» — provides musical accompaniment. For children, there are donkey rides, carousel and train rides, as well as a free wooden toy mobile on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. The city closes the street in front of the town hall to traffic during the market and integrates it into the event area.
