Lichtenfels Christmas Market and Fairy Tale Forest

The 2025 season followed the usual schedule: about four weeks for the main market, daily Fairy Tale Forest, and two live music events per week. The Fairy Tale Forest Railway ran its laps, and the Witch's House with readings at 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. was consistently well-attended — especially on the long Advent weekends.

With its dual concept of a 'classic Christmas market plus Fairy Tale Forest for children,' Lichtenfels has established itself as a family destination in the region. The market is known beyond the region (Bambolino magazine, deutsche-weihnachtsmaerkte.de) and attracts families from across the Coburg region and Upper Main-Jura.
