Wiesbaden – Kindersternschnuppenmarkt 2027
What to expect
Kindersternschnuppenmarkt Wiesbaden 2027 is expected to take place at Wiesbaden's Luisenplatz from Tuesday, 23 November to Thursday, 30 December 2027. The date is based on the pattern of previous years; opening times and recurring activities reflect the information available for 2026 and have not yet been specifically confirmed for 2027. The family market features carousels, an enchanted forest and hands-on activities.
Kindersternschnuppenmarkt Wiesbaden 2027: Date planning
In edition 2026, the Kindersternschnuppenmarkt initially opened at the same time as the Sternschnuppenmarkt on Schlossplatz and remained open until 30 December. The city has also confirmed that the main Sternschnuppenmarkt 2027 will open on 23 November. It is therefore plausible that the Kindersternschnuppenmarkt will start on the same day and tentatively close on 30 December. Separate confirmation of this longer run for the family market is still pending. Individual public holidays and special opening times will only be set out in the current programme overview.
Luisenplatz becomes a winter wonderland
The market is held on Wiesbaden's Luisenplatz in the city centre. The open spaces provide room for festive light displays, small market stalls and child-friendly activity areas. Festive decorations and illuminated figures create a different atmosphere from the main Sternschnuppenmarkt. You can combine your visit with a walk through the city centre. The map location right on Luisenplatz helps families find their way around. The organiser has yet to announce the exact layout planned for 2027.
Kindersternschnuppenmarkt Wiesbaden 2027: Carousel and Express
Previous editions featured a children's carousel and the Sternschnuppen-Express among their main attractions. The activities were aimed mainly at younger children and their accompanying adults. Families could discover various fairy-tale figures in the enchanted forest. It has not yet been officially announced whether the same operators and rides will be set up again for 2027. The individual rides are therefore not yet listed as confirmed. The event description instead outlines the family market's established concept.
Enchanted forest and winter wonderland stage
At edition 2026, the Winterzauberbühne on Luisenplatz hosted a programme of craft activities, Christmas stories and music. There were also special light features and the imaginative enchanted forest. Activities like these make the family market an appealing place to spend an Advent afternoon. However, the official daily programmes, including performers and times, are not yet available for the new season. We therefore do not carry over performance dates or the names of individual participants from the previous year. Specific activities can be added to the calendar once the programme for 2027 is published.
Christmas cheer for children and parents
The focus is on a relaxed family visit, with small attractions and comfortable places to spend time. Children can explore the festive decorations, while adults can find drinks and something to eat at the stalls. The market is not geared towards large, fast rides, but mainly offers a child-friendly winter experience. Parents should also check the age and height requirements for each ride, especially for younger children. These depend on the operator of each attraction.
Admission and provisional opening times
Luisenplatz could generally be visited without an admission fee at edition 2026. There may be charges for carousel rides, food, drinks and some additional activities. The different opening times from Wiesbaden's official calendar for the previous year have been carried over as a provisional schedule. The market was open longer on Fridays and Saturdays in particular than on some weekdays. Individual days and public holidays may differ in 2027. The final overview will only be confirmed when the organiser makes a new announcement.
Getting to Luisenplatz and other Wiesbaden markets
Luisenplatz is also close to Wiesbaden's shopping streets and is easily reached by city bus. From the main railway station, it's only a few stops towards the city centre. If you want to continue exploring, you can visit the Sternschnuppenmarkt on Schlossplatz or WinterStubb, with its large Ferris wheel on Mauritiusplatz. Although all three events are in Wiesbaden, they have different locations and opening times. They are therefore listed as separate events in the funfair calendar.
You'll find confirmed updates on the official organiser's website. See our event calendar for more Christmas markets..
