Christmas market Imst

The Imst Christmas Market, a picturesque pre-Christmas event held annually during the contemplative period leading up to December 23rd, is a feast for the senses and the heart. In a time when days grow shorter and nights longer, the market illuminates Johannesplatz behind the historic Imster Johanneskirche (St. John's Church) with its festive splendor..

What makes the Imst Christmas Market so special is not just its tradition but also its idyllic location. Nestled in the picturesque Tyrolean landscape, Imst provides the perfect setting for this Yuletide market with its natural beauty and rich cultural heritage.

The market is organized by Imst Tourism, an organization responsible not only for coordinating the market but also for promoting and developing the entire region. Their skill and dedication ensure that the market is an unforgettable experience year after year.

The market sprawls around Johannesplatz, dominated by the imposing St. John's Church, whose historic façade creates a unique backdrop. In this setting, the lovingly decorated market stalls line up, offering everything from handicrafts and Christmas decorations to warming textiles to satisfy all desires.

Visitors can look forward to numerous special features. One of the highlights is certainly the variety of traditional delicacies and beverages. From sweet punch and mulled wine that warm both hands and soul to Tyrolean treats like Kiachln and Käsespätzle – there's something for every palate.

A distinct characteristic of the market is its sustainable orientation. In harmony with Tyrol's picturesque nature, the market places great emphasis on eco-friendly practices and the promotion of regional products, thereby protecting not just the local economy but also the environment.
