Moers – Moers Christmas Market 2026

Moerser Weihnachtsmarkt 2026 takes place from Friday, 13 November, to Tuesday, 22 December 2026 in Moers's historic town centre. Festively decorated stalls around Kastellplatz, as well as in Haagstraße and Meerstraße, invite you to enjoy a Christmas stroll. Moers Marketing GmbH confirms the event dates and weekly opening schedule. Moerser Weihnachtsmarkt 2026 is also celebrating its 50-year anniversary. The anniversary will be marked with a special opening and additional activities, among other things.

Moers Christmas Market 2026: Dates and opening

The market opens on Friday, 13 November 2026, and closes on Tuesday, 22 December. The organiser has announced a ceremonial opening with Mayor Julia Zupancic on 13 November at 17 o’clock. The meeting point is the mulled wine pyramid at the Christmas market. After that, you can explore the town centre stalls over several weeks. However, the Christmas market is closed all day on Remembrance Sunday, 22 November. This day off is explicitly listed in the official overview and is therefore noted in the calendar.

Opening times around Kastellplatz

From Sunday to Thursday, the Christmas market is generally open from 12 to 20 o’clock. On Friday and Saturday, the market does not close until 22 o’clock. This makes it suitable for both an afternoon stroll and a winter evening visit. The opening times apply to the market stalls; additional programme items may have their own start times. For children's events in particular, it is worth checking the programme from Moers Marketing. The exception on Remembrance Sunday is listed separately from the usual Sunday opening times.

Christmas stalls, food and gift ideas

The town centre is festively lit during Advent. According to the organiser, the stalls include handmade decorations, crafts and small gifts. Savoury grilled dishes, sweet specialities and hot drinks are also available. The official event website also lists vegan options for different dietary needs. In addition, changing charity stalls give non-profit organisations a platform to present their projects. So you can combine a Christmas stroll with discovering local initiatives.

Moers Christmas Market 2026: Families and special programme

According to Moers Marketing, the offer includes the Homberger Kasperbühne. The puppet theatre puts on performances for children on several days; the organiser lists a separate admission fee of six euros per person. This is separate from the market itself. A medieval-style market area at Schlossplatz adds to the Christmas programme over one weekend. It includes tents, small games and a distinctive historic atmosphere. The digital Advent calendar promotion “Moers erleben” is also available in December. Check the official event website in advance for details of individual activities.

Address, getting there and further information

The main area is at Kastellplatz in Moers town centre, with additional stalls in Haagstraße and Meerstraße. You can explore all areas on foot. The organiser also provides information about a first-aid station and a lost children point in Haagstraße. The official documents consulted do not explicitly list a general admission price for entry to the market. Special attractions such as the Kasperbühne have a separate charge.
