Gmünd in Kärnten – Kathreinmarkt 2027

Kathreinmarkt Gmünd 2027 is expected to take place on 26 November 2027 in Kärnten. Here you can find dates, location and important visitor information.

Kathreinmarkt Gmünd 2027: Date with year clarification

Kathreinmarkt is one of the traditional market fairs in Gmünd in Kärnten. The municipal authority lists it for 2027 on Friday, 26 November. However, the year 2026 appears to have been entered by mistake in that exact line. Since 26 November 2027 falls on a Friday, the date for 2027 seems plausible. Until the municipality corrects the misprint, we are explicitly marking the date as provisional. The other fair dates and market regulations continue to be published by the municipality.

Market stalls on the Hauptplatz in the artists' town

The market takes place on the Hauptplatz in Gmünd, in the heart of the historic old town. Market traders set up their stalls here and offer a wide variety of goods. Its central location means you can combine your visit with a stroll through the artists' town. According to the municipality, the Hauptplatz is closed to traffic on market days. You should therefore allow for walking from the parking areas when planning your journey. The exact layout of the individual market stalls is organised before each market day.

Kathreinmarkt Gmünd 2027: What is on offer?

The town lists a wide range of goods for its market fairs. These include women's, men's and children's clothing, shoes, leather goods, fashion accessories and gifts. Household goods, cosmetics, sweet specialities and food are also typical features of the market. This makes Kathreinmarkt more of a traditional shopping and goods market than a large modern theme park. Details of the individual traders and brands that will be there in November 2027 have not yet been published. We therefore do not invent specific market stalls or rides.

Tradition and the market year in Gmünd

Kathreinmarkt is part of the municipality's recurring series of annual markets. These also include, for example, the Lent market in February, the Whitsun market in spring and an autumn market in October. The name Kathrein recalls the period around the feast day of Saint Catherine on 25 November. The market is therefore a late highlight in the market year. Although the event takes place in the run-up to Christmas, it is not the separate Advent market of the artists' town.

Opening times and costs

For 2026, the Kathreinmarkt was listed as starting at 8. No definitive closing time for 2027 has yet been clearly confirmed in public information. We have therefore not created a full MEC timetable based on estimated opening hours. No separate admission price is listed for the public market. Goods and food and drink are paid for directly to the individual traders. If you are travelling from further away, it is worth checking the official dates page in advance.

Getting there and visitor tips

Gmünd is in the Liesertal valley in Kärnten and can be reached via regional transport links. The Hauptplatz is in the historic town centre and is closed to vehicle traffic during the market fairs. Parking outside the immediate market area is therefore a suitable option for your visit. You can also use market day to take a stroll through the old town.
