Frankfurt (Oder) - cityWEIHNACHT

cityWEIHNACHT in Frankfurt (Oder) is the annual Christmas market in the twin city on the Oder, combining traditional festivities with the exciting atmosphere of a winter fairground. It transforms the central market square and the adjacent areas of the city centre into an extensive, festive Advent landscape and attracts visitors from the city, the surrounding area and neighbouring Poland.

What makes cityWEIHNACHT in Frankfurt (Oder) special is the integration of a funfair into the Christmas festivities.

The numerous wooden stalls decorated for Christmas offer a wide range of handcrafted products, decorative items and gift ideas, often with a focus on regional products and Saxon-Brandenburg craftsmanship. The culinary offerings are also diverse, ranging from classic Christmas market specialities such as mulled wine, punch and roasted almonds to hearty dishes and sweet treats familiar from funfairs.

In addition to the rides, there is usually a special programme for children and families, such as a fairy tale forest and daily visits from Santa Claus. A cultural programme with musical performances on stage rounds off the offerings. The festive lighting and the large Christmas tree contribute significantly to the Christmas atmosphere and create a comprehensive winter experience.
