One day in Colmar: six Christmas markets from 23 November

From 23 November to 29 December 2026 Colmar has six Christmas markets. The Marché gourmand and the big wheel stay open until 3 January 2027. Entry to the markets is free. Purchases, drinks and carousel rides do cost money. The events start as early as 21 November. On the Place Rapp stands Noël Féérique, with the Carrousel 1900 among other things.

On the Place des Dominicains, by the Dominican church with its fourteenth-century stained glass, stand about sixty chalets with decorations and handmade objects. On the Place de l’Ancienne Douane, around the Schwendi fountain, stand almost fifty wooden huts. In the Koïfhus itself, at Grand’Rue 29, about twenty craftspeople work indoors. The Place Jeanne-d’Arc has regional products and Alsatian specialities, and the Petite Venise has a children’s market with a carousel and a giant letterbox for Santa Claus.

The villages around also have their market. Eguisheim and Turckheim hold theirs from 27 November to 30 December, Riquewihr from 27 November to 20 December.
