About WinterDorf
WinterDorf — edition 2026
The 2026 edition continues the proven concept. With its location directly at the Sielort and the weather-independent roofing, the WinterDorf is a market that reliably offers programming even in North German winter weather.
The New Year's Eve party on December 30th is a clever pre-evening event for New Year's Eve itself and is particularly popular with hotel and holiday apartment guests.

Between the Years at the Sielort
The time between Christmas and New Year is special – not quite a holiday, not quite everyday life. The WinterDorf Horumersiel fills this time with an atmospheric market at the Sielort, creating a meeting point for New Year's Eve guests and locals.
Weather-Independent Thanks to a Roof
With 250 square meters of covered area, the WinterDorf is independent of the weather. Even in rain, wind, or cold, visitors can enjoy mulled wine and Eiergrog outdoors, sit in the covered areas, and warm up.
Frisian Specialties
The menu features Frisian specialties: herring salad, shrimp rolls, fish from the cutter, along with Frisian beer, mulled wine, Eiergrog, and of course Pharisäer (a coffee-based alcoholic drink). A culinary journey through regional cuisine.
Children's Carousel and Family Program
For the children, there is a children's carousel and small hands-on stations. This makes the WinterDorf a family event during the between-the-years period.
Live Music and New Year's Eve Party
Live music enlivens the evenings. On December 30th, the big New Year's Eve party takes place as a prelude to the turn of the year – with a DJ, dancing, and a lively atmosphere to get you ready for New Year's Eve.
Arts and Crafts Market in the Gästehaus
A parallel arts and crafts market featuring regional products takes place in the Gästehaus Horumersiel – beautiful gift ideas for the fresh new year.
New Year's Eve Guests in the Wangerland
The Wangerland is a popular destination during the period between the years. The WinterDorf offers New Year's Eve guests a nearby program, so the days between Christmas and New Year don't have to be spent in the holiday apartment.
