Wolgast Christmas Market

Advent atmosphere at the gateway to the island of Usedom

The Wolgast Christmas Market is one of the atmospheric small Advent markets in Vorpommern. It traditionally takes place on the third weekend of Advent in the historic old town of Wolgast – around the town hall and on the town hall square of the Peene town. The town of Wolgast is the organiser.

Market activities and culinary delights

Traders' stalls offer Christmas goods, arts and crafts, and gift ideas. The scent of mulled wine, roasted almonds, and hearty specialities wafts through the alleys, and numerous culinary stalls invite visitors to linger. The family-friendly character of the market makes it a relaxed destination for locals and guests.

Programme for children and families

A varied programme with surprises for children and a visit from St. Nicholas or Santa Claus is an integral part of the Wolgast Christmas Market. Its manageable size makes the market particularly attractive for families with small children.
