Esslingen Medieval Market & Christmas Market
Finally Christmas market again ...!
We have waited a long time for the return of jugglers, fire and stilt artists, musicians, craftsmen, traders and innkeepers. In 2023, they will once again cast a spell over the people with their colorful hustle and bustle. And Esslingen's beautiful old town will provide the atmospheric backdrop as it always has. With its approximately 180 stalls and its daily cultural program, the Esslingen Medieval Market & Christmas Market is one of the largest and most beautiful in the region. Special attractions at the medieval market include the warm hot tub at the harbor market, medieval games, archery, the candle workshop, the hand-operated Ferris wheel and much more. Everywhere there is a tempting smell of hot mulled wine, sweet mead and berry juice. In addition, a wide selection of delicious dishes awaits visitors, most of which are made from regional ingredients and are delicious and freshly prepared. The Christmas market is also well catered for: traditional bratwurst with sauerkraut or Kässpätzle. Those who prefer sweet treats can look forward to crispy waffles, roasted almonds and gingerbread. Stylishly decorated stalls with handicrafts, regional products, light houses, knitted goods or Christmas decorations offer the right gift for every budget.
Around the Postmichel fountain, the Christmas island with a living nativity scene awaits visitors. And the little ones can post their letter to the Christ Child in the wish box.
On the weekends before Christmas, more than 30 artisans will show their treasures at the Advent market in Ritterstraße. Please note: On Totensonntag, November 26, 2023, the market will be closed all day.
