29 Years of Weihnachtsmarkt Molbergen

In 2026, the Weihnachtsmarkt Molbergen will celebrate its 29th edition. Since the late 1990s, the market in the Bürgerpark Molbergen has been a firm fixture in the pre-Christmas calendar of the municipality and the region. The 28th edition already took place on December 13, 2025 — the 29th edition is scheduled for the 3rd Advent weekend in 2026.

Tradition and Community Life at the Forefront

The market is characterized by its traditional program, which is strongly anchored in local clubs:

  • Lighting of the Christmas tree by kindergarten children as an emotional start
  • Concert by the Molbergen music association with Christmas carols and brass music
  • Visit from St. Nicholas with gifts for the children
  • Performance by the horn blowers in the festival tent

Culinary Offerings

The market stalls offer classic Christmas market fare: mulled wine, Feuerzangenbowle (mulled wine with rum), bratwurst, potato pancakes, crêpes, candied almonds, gingerbread, and sweet specialties. In addition, there are stalls with arts and crafts, Advent wreaths, and small gifts.

Date and Information
