Traunstein Christmas Market

Advent atmosphere at the town square: The Traunstein Christmas Market invites you

Between Jacklturm and the parish church of St. Oswald, the Traunstein Christmas Market unfolds its market atmosphere: twinkling lights, the scent of resin and cinnamon, craftsmanship, and regional diversity make the town square a charming meeting point for market-goers, families, and connoisseurs.

Sensory shopping experience with a regional touch

Over 25 festively decorated huts offer selected seasonal goods directly from producers and craftsmen: turned wooden bowls, handmade glass art, nativity scenes, and carved figures, beeswax candles, sheep milk soaps, reverse glass paintings, as well as fine ceramics. Alpaca products from socks to bedding complement the assortment. Culinary delights include mulled wine, punch, Baumstriezel, and hearty delicacies - high quality, regional, and fresh.

Program in Advent: Craft, music, St. Nicholas

The event program highlights points in the weekly market rhythm: puppet theater afternoons, crafting activities, and musical contributions from the region create a lively picture of tradition. A highlight is the traditional St. Nicholas visit on December 5; on Thursdays to Saturdays, individual stalls can stay open longer in the evening - ideal for a fine after-work stroll.

Opening hours and market character

The market runs daily from November 28 to December 24, 2025. Opening day from 5 PM to 9 PM, Monday to Wednesday and Sunday from 11 AM to 8 PM, Thursday to Saturday from 10 AM to 8 PM; individual stalls until 10 PM. Christmas Eve from 9 AM to 1 PM. The market is organized by the city of Traunstein, with exhibitor coordination managed by city marketing - community-based and quality-oriented.

Access, parking, accessibility

On foot from the old town, you can reach the town square in minutes. For drivers, centrally located parking options like Karl-Theodor-Platz (P2) and the Rathaus-Zentrum underground car park are available; vehicles with electric plates can park at Karl-Theodor-Platz temporarily for free with a parking disc. Train travelers disembark at Traunstein station and stroll into the city center; within the city, a barrier-free call bus supports flexible access.

Tips for a relaxed market experience

Come in the morning or late afternoon for short distances and a quiet browsing experience. Wear warm, winter-proof clothing - the market takes place outdoors. Many stalls sell handcrafted gift ideas in small series: arriving early secures special unique pieces.
