Christmas markets in Allgäu and Germany set for 2026

Traditional Christmas markets in Germany, particularly in the Allgäu region, are preparing for the 2026 season. Many markets in the Alpine area are scheduled to begin as early as mid-November.

Specific upcoming dates for 2026 include the Advent market in Grän starting November 7, and events in Wiggensbach and Schloss Kronburg beginning November 13. The market in Bad Hindelang is noted as one of the most popular in Bavaria.

Across Germany, these markets maintain centuries-old traditions, offering regional specialties such as gingerbread, mulled wine, and marzipan. While major cities like Aachen host historic markets, smaller towns also offer traditional handmade goods and festive atmospheres.
