Drolshagen Christmas Market

Advent Atmosphere in the Historic Town Centre

When the lights in Drolshagen, Sauerland, are lit and the scent of mulled wine, baked apples, and fir wood wafts across the market square, the most wonderful time of the year begins in the small town in the Olpe district. The Christmas market on the historic market square is small but exquisite – and that's precisely its appeal: a personal atmosphere, regional vendors, and a programme designed specifically for families.

Classic Programme with Sauerland Charm

• Live music on the small stage – choirs, soloists, and brass ensembles from the region
• Visit from St. Nicholas with gifts for the little ones
• Pony rides for children around the market square
• ChoryFeen-Café with Advent coffee, cake, and mulled wine
• Stalls with arts and crafts, Christmas decorations, and regional specialities from the Sauerland region

Drolshagen Marketing e.V. as the Driving Force

Drolshagen Marketing e.V. organises the Advent market as part of its diverse event calendar, which sets accents throughout the year with its Spring Market, Town Festival, and Christkindlmarkt. Associations, local traders, and schools from the region are involved in setting up and dismantling and in the programme – the market is thus a true community project of the town.

Drolshagen in the Sauerland

With around 12,000 inhabitants, Drolshagen is one of the smaller towns in the Olpe district in the southern Sauerland region of North Rhine-Westphalia. Its history dates back to the early Middle Ages, and the historic market square with its half-timbered houses provides a particularly atmospheric backdrop for the Christmas market. Travellers in the Sauerland region during Advent will find a welcome break from the daily routine here – and an authentic, regional piece of Advent culture.
