Mulled Wine with a Sea View

The Kühlungsborner Wintermarkt is one of the most famous Christmas markets on the Mecklenburg Baltic Sea coast. Its location directly on the pier forecourt, with the illuminated pier and the Baltic Sea in the background, makes it unmistakable.

Program

Over several weeks, stalls offering mulled wine, punch, hearty and sweet specialties, and arts and crafts are featured. The stage alternates between live music, choirs, Advent singing, and a children's program. A lantern parade and the traditional Advent singing complement the program.

Advent Market and New Year

Additionally, the traditional Advent market takes place on the first Advent weekend in the Konzertgarten West. On January 1st, the pier forecourt is once again dedicated to the Wintermarkt from 11:00 AM, followed by the New Year's swim at the pier at 2:00 PM.

Local Context

Kühlungsborn is located in the Rostock district and, with over three kilometers of beach promenade, is the largest Baltic Sea resort in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The Wintermarkt extends the tourist season well into winter and symbolizes the "fourth season" with which the Baltic Sea resort now actively promotes itself.
