About Lüttje Markt Borkum

The Lüttje Markt Borkum is Borkum's answer to the classic Christmas market – only between the years. From the second day of Christmas until the beginning of January, the Georg-Schütte-Platz boule court is transformed into a small, cozy winter market with stalls, mulled wine, sea buckthorn grog, music, and winter specialties. Open daily from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM, the market is a central meeting point for islanders and guests around the turn of the year.

Lüttje Markt Borkum — edition 2026

From December 26, 2026, to January 4, 2027, the Lüttje Markt Borkum opens on Georg-Schütte-Platz daily from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Mulled wine, punch, sea buckthorn grog, winter dishes, and live music make the winter market a convivial meeting point between the years.

The 2026/27 edition continues the format of a small, compact, and particularly gastronomically focused winter market on the central boule court. Islanders and island guests use the market as a meeting point – the days around New Year's Eve are usually very busy.

Borkum's Winter Market Between the Years

Unlike most Christmas markets, the Lüttje Markt Borkum doesn't close its doors until after the holidays – it begins on the second day of Christmas and doesn't end until after the New Year. Precisely during the weeks when many guests are on holiday on the island and seeking a quiet island rhythm between the years, it offers conviviality and a winter market selection.

Atmosphere on the Boule Court

The venue is the Georg-Schütte-Platz boule court in the center of Borkum. The compact area accommodates stalls, patio heaters, a small stage area, and seating groups. Mulled wine, punch, sea buckthorn grog, and winter dishes characterize the culinary offerings. Live music and smaller program items make the market a convivial meeting point.

Daily Opening Hours

The market is open daily from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM. This covers both lunchtime visitors and the classic after-beach and evening periods. The central location on Georg-Schütte-Platz is within walking distance of all island accommodations.

Late Season and New Year's Eve

The Lüttje Markt is embedded in Borkum's maritime winter season and complements the New Year's program. It is a quiet, cozy alternative to big city New Year's Eve events and is equally appreciated by islanders and guests.
