Pure Advent Atmosphere: The Traunstein Christmas Market at the Historic Town Square
In the heart of the old town, framed by Jacklturm and St. Oswald's Parish Church, the Traunstein Christmas Market invites visitors to a festive shopping experience. Open daily from November 28 to December 24, 2025, visitors can expect a regional variety of crafts, culinary delights, and Christmas-themed events.
Regional Variety and Craftsmanship
Over 25 festively decorated stalls showcase handicrafts, Christmas decorations, and treats from the region. Local producers offer seasonal goods that smell of wood, spices, and fresh baked goods. The lovingly decorated stalls focus on quality and short supply lines – a plus for the local economy and for all who appreciate authentic products.
Programs for Young and Old
Amidst the glow of lights and the scent of fir trees, traditional activities create a true market atmosphere: The puppet theater enlivens selected Advent Wednesdays, St. Nicholas visits the market on December 5, and there are attractions like a children's train and a nostalgia carousel. Musical contributions from the city and the surrounding area round off the Advent shopping experience.
