The Eibenstock Fairytale Christmas Market 2025 traditionally took place on the 1st Advent weekend.

Fairytale Christmas Market 2025

In 2025, the Fairytale Christmas Market once again transformed the mining town of Eibenstock into a fairytale setting on the first Advent weekend. The fairytale procession on Saturday afternoon, with around 300 actors on floats, horse-drawn carriages, and on foot, attracted thousands of visitors from all over the Ore Mountains. Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, Cinderella, and many other fairytale characters came to life — a tradition that has made Eibenstock famous far beyond the town limits. The actual Christmas market around Postplatz offered Eibenstock embroidery, Ore Mountains handicrafts, and culinary specialties.
