Historic Christmas Market

On the first Advent weekend, the historic Christmas market in Oberwesel invites you to browse and enjoy once again.

On Saturday, stores in the downtown area will have extended hours.

The Christmas market takes place on Saturday, November 28, and Sunday, November 29, 2026, at the historic marketplace and Rathausstraße. The city mayor is already looking forward to decorating the Christmas tree together with the Oberwesel preschoolers. Festively wrapped “gifts” will find their place adorning the large Christmas tree in front of the town hall. The children will be rewarded for their wrapping efforts with sweets or chocolate personally from the city mayor.

Selected vendors will offer high-quality crafts, handmade goods, homemade jewelry, and much more on both days. A carousel, horse-drawn carriage, and children's programs are set to delight the little visitors in particular. Admission is free.
