Wonderlend Graz

Wonderlend, formerly known as Circus Wonderlend at Mariahilferplatz in Graz, is an annual highlight that heralds the pre-Christmas season in the Styrian capital. This colorful and vibrant event takes place annually from mid-November until the 23rd of December, immersing Mariahilferplatz in a festive ambiance.

The market has become an integral part of Graz's Advent season. Mariahilferplatz, where Wonderlend is held, is not only geographically at the heart of Graz but also historically and culturally significant. The picturesque backdrop of Mariahilfer Church lends the market a unique atmosphere and underscores the traditional importance of this site.

The market is organized by Graz Tourism, whose expertise in the management of major events and the promotion of regional tourism guarantees quality and success. At Mariahilferplatz itself, Wonderlend extends with its colorfully decorated stalls that harmoniously blend into the urban scene, stretching from the church to the adjacent alleys.

Visitors can expect a variety of specialties at the market. In addition to a diverse music program that sets the mood, it is primarily the artisanal products and regional specialties that make Wonderlend so unique. Crafts, Christmas decorations, and gift ideas provide the opportunity to purchase one-of-a-kind items.

The gastronomic variety is another highlight. Mulled wine, punch, and traditional delicacies such as sausages, roasted almonds, and gingerbread invite you to linger and indulge. These culinary delights make Wonderlend a true feast for all the senses.

The market is easily accessible by public transport, but Mariahilferplatz is also a quick walk from Graz's city center. Its central location makes it an ideal meeting point for both locals and tourists.

The Wonderlend will take place on 3 days from Friday, 21. November to Sunday, 23. November 2025 in Graz.
