Wingster Christmas Market 2026

Village Christmas Market in the Uplands

The Wingster Christmas Market is a typical village Advent market with a family atmosphere and strong community ties. It is organised by the Municipality of Wingst in cooperation with local clubs and organisations.

Advent Weekend 2026

The 2026 edition will take place on an Advent weekend in 2026 — the exact date will be confirmed by the Municipality of Wingst in advance on wingst.de and ortsdienst.de. Those planning a visit should check the current dates shortly beforehand.

Opening with a Service

A special feature of the Wingst market: the opening traditionally begins with a service at the LandfrauenCafé. This anchors the market in the religious customs of Advent and gives the day a contemplative touch.

Official Opening at 2:15 PM

Following the service, the official opening by the mayor takes place at 2:15 PM. This marks the official opening of the market.

Club Stalls and Village Community

The market offerings come from the community itself: stalls from local clubs and organisations — fire brigade, sports clubs, cultural circle, women's groups, traditional costume association. They offer arts and crafts, Advent decorations, regional specialities, mulled wine, bratwurst, cakes, and coffee. The proceeds benefit club and social projects.

Wingst — Uplands in Cuxland

Wingst is one of the most scenically attractive places in the Cuxhaven district. The uplands of the same name, with the Dobrock observation tower, wildlife park, and forests, offer a profile unusual for the Cuxland marshland. In Advent, this natural beauty combines with the village warmth of the Christmas market.
