About the event
The Christkindlmarkt (Christmas market) on Rathausplatz in Leobersdorf opens for the 37th time this year. It runs from Friday 13 November to Sunday 20 December 2026, every weekend plus the public holiday on 8 December. The official opening is on Saturday 14 November at 5 pm. The square has been covered for years, so rain does not spoil it.
Opening hours: Friday 4 pm to 8 pm, Saturday 3 pm to 8 pm, Sunday and 8 December 2 pm to 8 pm. Food and drink stalls stay open until 9 pm.
For children there is a steam carousel, which the market brought over from Germany in its early years, and the “Glitzerstern” Ferris wheel. A little road train runs through the illuminated streets during opening hours to a stop in the park, where the organiser offers a free drink. A horse-drawn carriage does its rounds on Saturdays and Sundays, except on 21 and 29 November and 5 and 8 December. In the Christkind post office children write their wish lists, and there is crafting, singing and baking.
Schools and choirs from the region perform every weekend. On 6 December at 4 pm St Nicholas arrives with the Neunkirchner Rauhnacht Teufln, a Krampus group. On the last day, 20 December, the band Artett plays “Swingin' Christmas” from 4:30 pm. Questions: +43 664 85 72 461.
