Schneeberger Christmas Market

When, on the Saturday before the first Advent at exactly 6 PM, the lights are "lit" in Schneeberg and festive tower music from St. Wolfgang's Church resonates, the Advent season begins. For four weeks, the city shines with atmospheric lighting – with decorative arches in nearly every window and festive lights on houses and streets, Schneeberg glows like a giant Christmas mountain. The Christmas market in the marketplace, lined with specially designed stalls in baroque style, offers a magical backdrop. The atmosphere of the Schneeberg Christmas market is a must for Advent enthusiasts: the scents of bratwurst and mulled wine, traditional stollen, and the extensive range of Erzgebirge folk art as well as high-quality handicrafts invite visitors to stroll and get into the Christmas spirit. With its rich mining history and a modern, creative spirit, Schneeberg combines tradition and progress. Here, one can discover glove makers, candle workshops, chocolate making, lace-making and carving arts, a watch and jewelry manufactory, and felt craftsmanship – a diversity that makes Schneeberg special and continually delights visitors.
