4th Advent in Sarstedt

While many Christmas markets end in mid-December, the Sarstedt market postpones its grand appearance to the end of the Advent season. This positions it on a weekend when markets in many other cities are already being dismantled – creating a special atmosphere shortly before Christmas Eve.

Four Days, Four Moods

On Thursday, the market opens from 3 PM to 8 PM, and on Friday from 2 PM to 8 PM. Saturday extends the program until 10 PM with DJ entertainment, turning the market square into a meeting point for young and young-at-heart audiences. New for 2026 is the opening on Sunday, December 20th, from 2 PM to 6 PM – a premiere responding to the wish of many Sarstedt residents for a final market day before Christmas.

Sarstedt in Northern Hildesheim

Sarstedt is located in the north of the Hildesheim district, in the valley of the Innerste river. The town, with around 19,000 inhabitants, is an important residential and economic hub between Hildesheim and Hanover. Its town hall, with the square in front of it on Steinstraße, provides a fitting setting for the Christmas market.

Christmas Market Sarstedt — edition 2026

Over the 4th Advent weekend of 2026, the Sarstedt Christmas Market invites you for four days to Rathausplatz. On Thursday, December 17th, it opens from 3 PM to 8 PM, and on Friday, December 18th, from 2 PM to 8 PM. Saturday, December 19th, with opening hours from 2 PM to 10 PM and a DJ program, becomes the longest market day, and on Sunday, December 20th, there will be a 4th market day for the first time, from 2 PM to 6 PM. GHG Sarstedt e.V. and Stadtmarketing Sarstedt organize the market and offer a diverse range of mulled wine, food, music, and small activities.

Program Between Family and Party

The Sarstedt Christmas Market aims to appeal to multiple target groups: families in the afternoon, connoisseurs in the early evening, and a younger audience on Saturday evening.

Detailed Program 2026

The exact detailed program for 2026 (DJs, performances, stall assignments) will be published by the organizers on sarstedter-weihnachtsmarkt.de. The structure follows the proven cornerstones of previous years: mulled wine and food offerings every day, a family atmosphere on Thursday and Friday, DJ and extended opening hours on Saturday evening, and a cozy market day before Christmas on Sunday afternoon (premiere in 2026).
