Ilmenau Christmas Market

In the heart of the Goethe and university town – traditionally located in the church square, on Market Street, or along Linden Street – you can expect a place full of sociable coziness and Christmas spirit on the third Advent weekend.

Far from the hustle and bustle, Ilmenau values a small, fine market with selected vendors. Here you will find high-quality handicrafts, loving decoration ideas, and of course the essential delicacies that smell of cinnamon, vanilla, and mulled wine.

The glow of the festively illuminated city center and the Christmas melodies create the perfect, dreamlike atmosphere. A colorful cultural program on stage featuring choral music and puppet theater, as well as the daily presence of Santa Claus, rounds off the experience for the whole family.

Visit the Ilmenau Christmas market and let yourself be enchanted by its traditional and warm charm!
