About Adventsmarkt Schnaittach

On several Advent Sundays, the Schnaittach business association transforms the market square of the Upper Franconian-Middle Franconian market town into an atmospheric Christmas market. Between stalls with arts and crafts, mulled wine and delicacies, there is a packed stage program: youth bands, school choirs, brass choirs, dance groups, and visits from St. Nicholas and the Christkind. A cozy, family-friendly market in the heart of the Nürnberger Land.

Advent in the historic town center

The Schnaittach Christmas Market is organized by the Werbegemeinschaft Schnaittach e.V. on the market square of the market town of Schnaittach. Schnaittach is located in the district of Nürnberger Land (state of Bavaria, administrative region of Middle Franconia) and is known for its well-preserved historic town center – a fitting backdrop for a Christmas market.

Market on Advent Sundays

The market does not take place continuously, but on several Advent Sundays (and one Saturday before Christmas). The stalls offer arts and crafts, Christmas decorations, mulled wine, punch, and culinary specialties. The manageable size is part of its special charm: a cozy, family-friendly market without crowds.

Packed stage program

A characteristic feature is the diverse participation of local clubs and groups. On market days, performers include:

  • Youth and music bands as well as the Schnaittach music school
  • the Schnaittach choir and brass choirs from the region
  • dance and movement groups from local clubs
  • St. Nicholas and the Christkind, who collects children's wish lists

The market is traditionally opened by the mayor. Thus, the Christmas market is firmly anchored in the club and village life of Schnaittach.
