Nikolausdorf — The Fitting Location

The Garrel Christmas market takes place in the Garrel district of Nikolausdorf — and the place name lends the pre-Christmas event a special touch. The market is set up as a compact fairground in front of the Garrel secondary school, creating a dense Advent atmosphere.

Fairground on the 3rd Advent

The date on the 3rd Advent weekend — mid-December — is right in the middle of the busy Advent season, when preparations for Christmas are in full swing. The market in front of the secondary school attracts not only the residents of Nikolausdorf and Garrel but also visitors from the surrounding communities in the southern Cloppenburg district.

Program and Offerings

The program combines classic Christmas market fare — mulled wine, bratwurst, potato pancakes, gingerbread, candied almonds, handicrafts — with family entertainment: festive live music, a visit from St. Nicholas, children's activities. Stalls run by local clubs and social organizations collect donations for good causes.

Date and Information

3rd Advent weekend: Saturday, December 12th, and Sunday, December 13th, 2026, in front of the Garrel secondary school in the Nikolausdorf district. Current information: garrel.de.
