Snowflake Market Brake

The Brake Snowflake Market, a charming winter event, is traditionally held every year on the third weekend of Advent, from Thursday to Sunday. This festive market was first held in 2004 and has since become one of the highlights in the town of Brake on the Unterweser River. The town, known for its picturesque location along the Weser River, provides an idyllic backdrop for this special market.

The market is located in the museum garden of the Maritime Museum, a place that, with its maritime charm and historical ambiance, forms the perfect setting for the pre-Christmas mood. The market stalls, spread throughout the garden area, offer a variety of traditional and handmade goods, attracting visitors from all over the region.

One of the most distinctive features of the Brake Snowflake Market is its unique atmosphere, created by the combination of traditional market stalls and the historical setting of the Maritime Museum. Visitors can look forward to unique handicrafts, seasonal decorations, and a variety of culinary delights. From roasted almonds and gingerbread to regional delicacies, the market has something to suit every taste.

What makes the market particularly worth visiting is not just the range of traditional goods and delicacies, but also the warm and festive atmosphere created by the lighting, music, and the joy of the people. Special attractions like live music, craft demonstrations, and perhaps even a visit from Santa Claus himself, make the market an unforgettable experience for families and visitors of all ages.

The Snowflake Market takes place annually, and therefore for the twentieth time previsibly in December 2025 in Brake.
