Weihnachtsmarkt Diepholz

Advent Atmosphere at the Town Hall

The Rathausplatz is the center of Diepholz's city center and forms the natural backdrop for the Christmas market. As the Advent season begins, the square transforms: wooden huts are erected, Christmas trees are put up, and fairy lights are strung. The mix of urban architecture, the historic town hall, and festively decorated stalls creates an inviting atmosphere.

Program Classics

The program follows the proven cornerstones of Northern German Christmas markets: mulled wine stands provide warmth, bratwurst and other hot dishes satisfy hunger, craftspeople present handmade gift ideas, and musical contributions — choirs, brass bands, bands — enhance the mood. Children's activities are part of the program on many days.

Long Market Period

The Diepholz Christmas Market is characterized by an unusually long period. From November 6 to December 13, 2026, the market is open, offering many more opportunities to visit than the typical four Advent weekends in other cities. This makes the market an integral part of city life in the weeks leading up to Christmas.

City of Diepholz as Organizer

The City of Diepholz organizes the market in cooperation with the 'Fördergemeinschaft Lebendiges Diepholz' (Association for a Vibrant Diepholz) and the downtown businesses.
