Pre-Christmas market on Marienplatz in the heart of Dingolfing
The Dingolfing St. Nicholas Market takes place in the heart of the Lower Bavarian town of Dingolfing on Marienplatz. From the Friday before the 1st Advent until the 2nd Advent, the central square transforms into a pre-Christmas world of experience that attracts visitors from all over the region.
A "Winter Dream Forest" of thousands of small lights and sparkling Christmas tree decorations creates a warm, Christmassy atmosphere. At the stalls, mulled wine, bratwurst, and sweet delicacies emanate their aroma, complemented by Christmas treats and historical crafts.
The program includes demonstrations of historical crafts, Christmas music, and handicraft offerings. A large nativity scene is part of it, as is St. Nicholas, who walks through the market daily with his angels and delights the young visitors with sweets.
It kicks off with a Sunday opening for shopping with a shopping day and a grand Christmas raffle. Thus, the market combines pre-Christmas atmosphere with the offerings of local retail.
