Märchenweihnachtsmarkt

In the organizer's words:

From November 25 to December 30, 2024

The Kassel Fairytale Christmas Market invites you to spend romantic hours as a couple and convivial evenings with friends or colleagues. In addition to hot mulled wine and the scent of almonds, you can of course expect everything else that has made the fairytale Christmas market the most popular of its kind in Hesse: Between Königsplatz and Friedrichsplatz, Kassel's city center is transformed into a sparkling sea of lights, which you can enjoy a breathtaking view of from the Ferris wheel. In the cozy fairytale forest, you can spend the evening in a rustic atmosphere, while the world's largest fairytale pyramid greets you from afar. The popular fairytale slide is back again this year, inviting you to take a speedy slide down the stairway!

Opening hours

• The Fairytale Christmas Market is open daily from November 25 to December 30 from 11 am to 8 pm.
• The food stands are open until 10 pm.
• Closed from December 24 to 26

Who has the choice...

If you are still looking for original gift ideas, you are guaranteed to find something in the fabulously decorated stalls - and you can also fulfill almost any culinary wish at the many food stalls. Of course, you don't need to shy away from the bright red apples of paradise - because they are definitely not prepared by Snow White's wicked stepmother!

The flying Santa Claus delights

See Santa Claus flying through the air in his reindeer sleigh: This dream comes true at the Kassel Fairytale Christmas Market! Once again this year, the internationally renowned high-wire artist Falko Traber and his son Fernando will be presenting their spectacular show in Kassel's city center every day.
