Christmas market Bochum

21 Nov. - 23 Dec. 2024 | Christmas market in Bochum

Every year during the pre-Christmas season, up until December 23rd, a magical winter wonderland blooms in the bustling city of Bochum: the Bochum Christmas Market, which immerses visitors in a world filled with tradition and festive cheer..

During these weeks, Dr.-Ruer-Platz transforms into a picturesque paradise, adorned with lovingly decorated stalls that stretch through the city center, carrying the festive spirit far beyond the square. Bochum's historic backdrop, marked by impressive buildings like the Old Town Hall, gives the market a very special atmosphere and creates a vibrant backdrop for the colorful hustle and bustle.

This feast for the senses is organized by Bochum Marketing GmbH, which ensures that the market becomes an unforgettable experience each year with its expertise and competence. A highlight that distinguishes the Bochum Christmas Market and makes it known well beyond the city's borders is the spectacular tightrope show featuring the Flying Santa Claus, which has been astonishing both young and old since 2009.

But not only the skies above Bochum enchant: on the ground, traditional delicacies and warming drinks invite you to discover the culinary delights of the Ruhr area. From savory to sweet, there's something for every taste, surrounded by an atmosphere that makes the anticipation of the festival of love palpable.

In addition to the tightrope show, it is the Fairy Tale Forest that especially makes the hearts of younger visitors beat faster, while light sculptures bathe the market in a sea of colors and create an unforgettable ambiance. Thus, the Bochum Christmas Market is far more than just a market – it's a festival of community, culture, and joy that brightens the dark winter days and warms the heart. A place where memories are made, echoing long after the last Advent candle has been extinguished.

The Christmas market will take place on 33 days from Thursday, 21. November to Monday, 23. December 2024 in Bochum.
