Traunstein Christmas Market

Advent like in a picture book: The Traunstein Christmas Market invites you

Between the parish church of St. Oswald and the Jacklturm, the Traunstein Christmas Market unfolds its special market atmosphere. From November 28 to December 24, 2025, lovingly decorated huts, regional variety, and crafts attract visitors to the town square. On Friday, December 5, 2025, the market opens at 11 AM; at 6 PM, Saint Nicholas will visit the market-goers.

Sensory impressions and a real shopping experience

Warm mulled wine, spicy punch, the scent of gingerbread, and sparkling lights characterize the shopping experience. Colorful decorations, candlelight, and fir greenery create an atmospheric picture that bathes the historic old town in a festive ensemble.

Craft & Direct Sellers

Direct sellers and producers present seasonal goods and traditional crafts: turned wooden bowls, nativity figures, reverse glass pictures, beeswax candles, glass art from in-house production, as well as natural cosmetics and alpaca products. The stall plan indicates changing providers and demonstrations such as live turning – an ideal address for quality gifts with regional origin.

For families: A program with heart

Puppet theater, a children's train, and a nostalgia carousel ensure sparkling eyes. The traditional visit from Saint Nicholas on December 5 brings small surprises and much anticipation for Christmas. Daily programs with music, craft activities, and traditional trumpeting round off the family outing.

Delights from the region

Grilled sausages, cheese spaetzle, crispy Baumstriezel, and fine sweets make the market visit a pleasure. Hot drinks ranging from classic mulled wine to fruity variations warm reliably and fit perfectly with the winter mood.
