The Schwabing Christmas Market – an artistic delight at Münchner Freiheit

Since 1976, the Schwabing Christmas Market has enchanted Münchner Freiheit with its special atmosphere, artistic flair, and genuine human connection. Amidst handcrafted art, twinkling lights, and the scent of the pre-Christmas season, a place has evolved over the decades that is far more than just a Christmas market—it is a true piece of Schwabing.

2026 will be a very special year:
We are celebrating 50 years of the Schwabing Christmas Market—marking half a century of creativity, tradition, and artistic free-spiritedness. It continues to be organized, designed, and sustained by the artists themselves—a unique feature that sets it apart from many other Christmas markets and defines its distinctive character to this day.

Munich’s new Mayor, Dominik Krause, is expected to attend the ceremonial opening on November 25, 2026, at 6:00 p.m.

We warmly invite you to experience this special anniversary with us and rediscover the magic of one of Munich’s most beautiful Christmas markets.
