CHRISTMAS MARKET OBERAMMERGAU – THE MARKET WITH HEART – CHRISTMAS 2024

Christmas Market in Oberammergau 2024

As every year, the Christmas market in Oberammergau takes place on the first Advent on the square in front of the parish church of St Peter and Paul (Kirchplatz). This year is already the 42nd time. Due to the corona pandemic, the Christmas market unfortunately had to be cancelled in 2020 and 2021 and was held again in 2022 and 2023.

The first Advent and thus also the Christmas Market will take place this year on 01 december 2024. After the parish service (9:00 a.m.), the Oberammergau Wind Quartet traditionally opens the Christmas Market in Oberammergau.
