About the market
The Christmas market will be opened on 19 November with all the accompanying celebrations. At 18:00 the mayor, Martina Förster-Teutenberg, will cut the Lüner Lebkuchenherz (Lünen gingerbread heart) and it will be distributed to the visitors to the Christmas market. After this opening ceremony things really get going. The Herrnhuter Sterne shine, the creative huts offer sewn, baked and handcrafted items from the local area, the almonds roast, and the scents of the varied catering offering mingle with their aroma. To these long-standing favourites, the 2026 Christmas market is again enriched by the relocation of the Dortmunder Lichtermarkt to the Lippe. Besides festively illuminated huts and medieval flair, it brings a colourful stage programme. The "Weihnachtsbasar im Hansesaal" (Sat 28.11. and Sun 29.11.2026), "St. Nikolaus kommt mit dem Schiff" (Saint Nicholas arrives by ship) (Sat 05.12.2025 from 17:00) and the "Weihnachtsfackelschwimmen in der Lippe" (Christmas torch swimming in the Lippe) (Sat 12.12.2025 from 17:00) are among the further highlights. Every Wednesday is family day with special offers and activities. The Kulturbüro, together with the City Ring Lünen e.V. and the Lünen business owners as well as the Christmas market traders, warmly welcomes all visitors from near and far.
