Chemnitz Christmas market from 27 November 2015

Every year during the Advent season, the area around Chemnitz Town Hall is transformed into a Christmas world in the Ore Mountains. From 27 November to 23 December, visitors and guests can enjoy original Erzgebirge folk art, typical tree decorations, Advent decorations and many Christmas and culinary delights. The Klosterweihnacht on Innere Klosterstraße takes you back in time and the "Erzgebirgsdorf" on Düsseldorfer Platz enchants its customers.
