Christmas fair Dachau

22 Nov. - 23 Dec. 2024 | Traditional Christmas market with a historic backdrop and festive atmosphere

The Dachau Christkindlmarkt is a festively adorned Christmas market that transforms the historic old town into a magical, pre-Christmas atmosphere each Advent season. Traditionally opening in late November, it invites visitors until December 23 to immerse themselves in the holiday spirit. Since its inception in the 1980s, this market has become a cherished part of Dachau's cultural and festive life..

Dachau, a picturesque town in Upper Bavaria, is renowned for its charming, historic town center, an ideal setting for the Christkindlmarkt. Located just a few kilometers northwest of Munich, Dachau is easily accessible by car and public transport. The market takes place in the town’s Rathausplatz, framed by the old town’s architecture, creating a unique and inviting ambiance. Historical landmarks like the Old Town Hall, the Zollhäuschen, and St. Jakob’s Church provide a stunning backdrop.

Lovingly crafted market stalls offer a wide selection of handmade gifts, traditional crafts, Christmas decorations, and regional specialties. Particularly popular are the intricate woodwork and candles, which make authentic souvenirs for loved ones. During this season, Dachau’s old town glows with festive lights, and the air is filled with the aromas of cinnamon, mulled wine, and roasted almonds.

A visit to the Dachau Christkindlmarkt is worthwhile not only for the variety of stalls and products but also for the special atmosphere and traditional treats that delight the senses. In addition to classic Christmas pastries like gingerbread and cookies, regional delicacies such as Dachau's Rostbratwurst and savory cheese specialties are crowd-pleasers. Warming drinks like mulled wine and punch complete the offerings, perfect for cold winter evenings.

The Dachau Christkindlmarkt stands out for its cozy, family-friendly ambiance, setting it apart from the larger, often crowded markets in the region. The thoughtfully designed stalls and festive lighting around the historic buildings lend it a unique charm. This market offers a wonderful opportunity to escape the everyday hustle and prepare for the reflective, joyous season.

The Christmas fair will take place on 32 days from Friday, 22. November to Monday, 23. December 2024 in Dachau.
