About the market
The Lößnitzer Weihnachtsmarkt, a fixture of the Advent season since 1691, radiates a special festive atmosphere every year on the third weekend of Advent. The historic market square and the town centre are transformed into an atmospheric sea of lights, accompanied by traditional sounds and tempting scents. The market is ceremonially opened on Friday evening with the enchanting Sternenmarsch (star march) of the day-care centres and a prologue by an angel and a miner. An outstanding highlight is the great Bergparade (miners' parade) on Sunday. Around 450 miners march through the town in magnificent uniforms, while the spectacle is broadcast live on a 21 m² LED screen to give all guests an unforgettable view. The market is accompanied by the sounds of the Lößnitzer Bronzeglockenspiel (bronze carillon). Besides the musical variety, to which regional choirs, brass groups and dialect bands contribute, exhibitions such as the model railway show in the "Putzwolle" and the lovingly designed carving exhibition in the brewery, presenting Heimat- und Weihnachtsberge (carved Christmas mountain scenes), invite you to discover.
