Advent Magic in the Heart of Herzogenaurach

The Herzogenaurach Christmas Market is one of the most atmospheric Advent events in Middle Franconia. It takes place around the striking Old Town Hall in the center of Herzogenaurach, a town in the Erlangen-Höchstadt district in the state of Bavaria, which is primarily known as the home of internationally renowned sportswear manufacturers.

Market and Offerings

Decorated stalls offer arts and crafts, handmade gift ideas, and Christmas specialties. Glühwein (mulled wine), roasted almonds, and hearty as well as sweet treats provide the right refreshments for the cold season. The cozy backdrop of the Old Town Hall lends the market a special charm.

Opening with After-Work-Glühwein

The market traditionally starts on Thursday with an After-Work-Glühwein: Colleagues and friends meet after work to the sound of live music for a cozy start to the Advent season.

Supporting Program

Throughout the weekend, live music with Christmas melodies and lively rhythms accompanies the market, creating a festive atmosphere. The offerings are complemented by the Living Advent Calendar, where a Christmas window is opened daily at various locations in the town.
