32nd Christmas Market on the 1st Advent weekend on the historic market square of Schüttorf with a visit from St. Nicholas
The Pluspunkt-Weihnachtsmarkt Schüttorf is one of the traditional events in the Grafschaft Bentheim region. In 2026, the 32nd edition will be celebrated – a testament to the continuous work of the Werbegemeinschaft Pluspunkt and the public's interest in pre-Christmas market visits.
The historic market square of Schüttorf is made traffic-free for the market. The stalls are arranged around the historic town hall, which, with its half-timbered architecture, offers a perfect Advent backdrop. The lighting enhances the festive effect.
The stalls offer crafts, Christmas decorations, gift ideas, and culinary delights. Mulled wine, bratwurst, crêpes, roasted almonds, and Advent treats fill the market weekend with scents and aromas.
Festive live music is performed in front of the historic town hall. Choirs, brass bands, and acoustic sets provide contemplative sounds that define the market weekend.
The highlight is the visit from St. Nicholas on Sunday around 3:15 PM, who delights children with small gifts. This fixed program point attracts families from the entire Schüttorf municipality every year.
The combination of historic architecture, market character, and community-driven organization makes the market a firm fixture of the Advent season in the Grafschaft region.
The complete 2026 program will be published by the Werbegemeinschaft on pluspunkt-schuettorf.app.
