About Gubener Weihnachtsmarkt

The Gubener Weihnachtsmarkt will take place in 2026 on the third Advent weekend (December 12th and 13th) on Friedrich-Wilke-Platz and in the Alte Färberei — under the motto "im Eisfieber". Live ice sculpting, ice stock sport, air hockey, the city library's puppet theatre, creative activities for children, and stage performances by the Guben music school will shape the two-day program. On Sunday, the City and Industrial Museum will transform into a fairytale cinema, and Maskom and Santa Claus will guide visitors through the market.

Ice Fever on the Lusatian Neisse

The twin city of Guben/Gubin is located directly on the German-Polish border. Every year, the traditional Christmas market on the third Advent transforms Friedrich-Wilke-Platz and the historic Alte Färberei into a winter wonderland.

December 12th and 13th, 2026 — The Motto

In 2026, the market is under the motto "im Eisfieber" (in the ice fever). Live ice sculpting in the market, ice stock sport for young and old, and the speed of the air hockey table playfully incorporate the theme.

Program — What to Expect

  • Live ice sculpting right before the visitors' eyes
  • Ice stock sport for all age groups
  • Air hockey tournament
  • Puppet theatre of the Guben City Library
  • Creative activities for children
  • Brass classes from the Guben Music School and live band on stage
  • Fairytale cinema in the City and Industrial Museum on Sunday
  • Maskom and Santa Claus will accompany the program

Setting — Friedrich-Wilke-Platz and Alte Färberei

Friedrich-Wilke-Platz is Guben's central city square. The neighboring Alte Färberei (Old Dye House) recalls Guben's history as a textile city — and during Christmas, it's an atmospheric indoor space for concerts and children's programs.

Organizer

The organizer is the City of Guben in cooperation with local associations, the music school, and the City and Industrial Museum.
