Fairytale Christmas Market
Event description
auto-translatedThe Neuzelle Fairytale Christmas Market is a fairytale Christmas market in and around the Neuzelle monastery. The square turns into a large storybook stage: in a fairytale forest you can see scenes from well-known and lesser-known fairy tales, and characters from the stories wander among the stalls. Craftspeople, artists, associations and traders sell gifts, and there is food both sweet and savoury.
Children can ride a pony carriage and a carousel, look at the sheep and bake cake on a stick over a campfire. In the afternoon the Neuzeller Spielmannszug marching band enters the square together with Santa Claus, and in the Christmas hut performers include the Wellmitzer Bläsergruppe and a duo of trumpeters from Ratzdorf. In the evening the monastery and the monastery pond are lit up with lights.
When: second Advent weekend, Saturday 5 December, 12:00–20:00, and Sunday 6 December 2026, 11:00–18:00. The market is organised by Amt Neuzelle together with the municipalities of Lawitz, Neißemünde and Neuzelle.
