A dazzling display of lights and festive cheer
When the village green in Altkötzschenbroda is aglow with warm lights, a very special time begins in Radebeul. The Christmas market in Altkötzschenbroda will take place over three Advent weekends in 2026: 27 to 29 November, 4 to 6 December and 11 to 13 December.
The Christmas market in Altkötzschenbroda transforms the village green into a meeting place for connoisseurs, families and anyone who prefers their Christmas markets to have a more personal feel over three Advent weekends. Amongst the lovingly decorated stalls, you’ll find arts and crafts, local delicacies and mulled wine from regional winegrowers. Bonfires keep hands warm, whilst music sets the mood. Children can do crafts, bake, go for a pony ride or disappear into the puppet show tent. In short: an Advent stroll amidst half-timbered houses, full of flavour and with plenty of corners to linger in.
It is open on Fridays from 4 pm to 9 pm, Saturdays from 12 noon to 9 pm and Sundays from 12 noon to 8 pm.
Getting there
The Christmas market is held on the village green in Altkötzschenbroda, Radebeul. By public transport, take the S1 to Radebeul-Kötzschenbroda, line 4 to Gradsteg, or bus routes 400, 475 and 476 to Kötzschenbroda S-Bahn station. Parking is available at the Festwiese and on Güterhofstraße.
HIGHLIGHT
Dresden Winter Lights
On Prager Straße, a shopping trip quickly turns into an Advent stroll. From 25 November to 23 December 2026, the Dresden Winter Lights will bring market stalls, a Ferris wheel, an ice rink and plenty of lights to the area between the main railway station and the city centre.
HIGHLIGHT
Meissen Christmas
At the Meissen Market, Advent is cosy, handmade and rather tasty. Nestled amongst the town hall, the huts and the scent of Christmas, from 23 November to 24 December you’ll find gifts, moments to enjoy a Stollen, and that little pre-Christmas spark that you sometimes have to search for.
