Schwerin Christmas Market: The Star in the North
From November 23, 2026, the Schwerin Christmas Market transforms the historic old town into a festive winter experience. Between the marketplace, butcher's market, Mecklenburg Street, and Pfaffenteich, visitors can expect sparkling lights, decorated wooden huts, festive scents, and a varied program for the whole family.
Christmas Market Atmosphere in the Old Town
In the old town market, a magnificent spruce tree and the famous Christmas pyramid form the center of market activities. The scent of roasted almonds, mulled wine, punch, and fresh pastries accompanies the stroll through the festively decorated alleys. Handmade goods, traditional crafts, and regional specialties make shopping a lively experience.
Craft, Enjoyment, and Regional Diversity
The market stalls invite you to discover special gift ideas and winter seasonal goods. Direct marketers, producers, and artisans present culinary specialties, decorative works, and lovingly crafted products. Thus, the Christmas market connects regional trade with traditional craftsmanship and cozy market culture.
Ice Rink, Ferris Wheel, and Winter Joy at Pfaffenteich
At Pfaffenteich, the ice rink, Ferris wheel, and alpine hut provide additional highlights. The ice rink will remain open beyond the market period until January 17, 2027. Children and families will find a fairy tale tent at the butcher's market with creative actions, pre-Christmas programs, and performances by the puppet theater KRIEDELFIX.
Family Program at the Butcher's Market
The Stadtwerke fairy tale tent offers children space to participate, bake, paint, and marvel. The offer is complemented by the Polar Bear Band, fairy tale stalls on Mecklenburg Street, and other seasonal attractions. This makes the Christmas market a cross-generational destination for Schweriners, guests from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and visitors to the state capital.
