The Löbau Christmas Market, an annual highlight in Saxony's Upper Lusatia region, traditionally takes place on the third weekend of Advent, from Thursday to Sunday.

Löbau, known for its impressive architecture and historical significance, provides the perfect setting for this traditional market. The Old Market, the heart of the city, transforms into a winter wonderland surrounded by impressive buildings that lend an almost fairytale-like atmosphere to the market. In particular, the Town Hall and the historic burgher houses form a picturesque backdrop.

Artfully arranged, the market stalls stretch across the Old Market. Each stall is a small work of art in itself, offering a wide range of products – from traditional crafts to festive decorations. Visitors can discover unique gifts and souvenirs here.

What makes the Löbau Christmas Market so special are its local features. Numerous cultural performances bring to life the history and traditions of Upper Lusatia. From local choirs to traditional dances, every aspect of the market is aimed at celebrating and preserving regional culture.
