Lohne Christmas Market

Four Weeks of Advent at Pierre-Braun-Platz

The Lohne Christmas Market extends over the entire Advent season — from the Thursday before the 1st Advent until December 23rd. In 2026, the 1st Advent falls on November 29th, so the market is expected to open on Thursday, November 26th, 2026, and run daily until December 23rd. The venue is Pierre-Braun-Platz in the heart of Lohne's city center.

Ice Rink as a Highlight

A special highlight that sets the Lohne Christmas Market apart from many others is the ice rink. Skaters of all ages can glide around here — from kindergarten children taking their first tentative steps on skates to adults nostalgically reminiscing about old ice-skating days. Skate rental and small snack stands around the rink make ice skating a family experience.

Stalls and Culinary Offerings

The stalls offer the classic Christmas market assortment. Culinary delights include: mulled wine in various versions (red, white, children's punch), hot apple punch, bratwurst, potato pancakes, crepes, candied almonds, gingerbread, chocolate creations, cookies, stollen. In addition, there are stands with gifts: wood carvings, candles, jewelry, Christmas decorations, wool products, small works of art.

Nostalgic Carousel

A nostalgic children's carousel spins its rounds at Pierre-Braun-Platz — a classic that brings sparkling eyes to children and evokes memories of their own childhood for adults. This combination of tradition and family joy is an integral part of the market's image.

Daily Program

The daily operation over four weeks distinguishes the Lohne market from smaller Advent markets that only open on weekends. This creates a continuous meeting point for the city community — after work, during shopping, on weekends with the family. The city center comes alive daily, and the Advent atmosphere becomes a continuous experience.

Supporting Program

Numerous program items take place over the four weeks: performances by children's choirs and brass choirs, visits from Santa Claus or St. Nicholas, readings, small stage acts, and special promotions. The exact program is published by the organizer at weihnachtsmarkt-lohne.de. This ensures that visiting the market is not just a one-time stroll — those who come more often experience something new each time.

Meeting Point of Lohne's Advent Season

The Lohne Christmas Market is more than just a sales event. It is the meeting point of Lohne's Advent season — the place where you meet acquaintances, drink mulled wine, spend time together, and get into the festive spirit. A tradition that shapes the city's identity and brings light and warmth during the dark season.
