Atmospheric Advent market around the Old Town Hall
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.
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.
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.
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.
Without a lot of fuss, but with real anticipation for Christmas: The Herzogenaurach Christmas Market is a meeting place for families, friends, and neighbors, where the hustle and bustle of everyday life takes a backseat for a few hours.

The opening on Thursday, December 3rd, will feature the After-Work-Glühwein with live band music for colleagues and friends after work.
