Leipzig – Christmas market at Feinkost 2026

Christmas market at Feinkost 2026 is open from Saturday, 28 November, to Sunday, 20 December 2026, on all four Advent weekends at the Feinkost site in Leipzig. In Südvorstadt, craftspeople, artists and small independent brands present their handmade products. There is also a varied range of food, from regional classics to international dishes. The Kunst- und Gewerbegenossenschaft Feinkost eG has listed each of the eight event days individually in its official calendar. Admission is free, as confirmed by Leipzig Tourismus und Marketing GmbH.

Christmas market at Feinkost 2026: all weekends

The Christmas market takes place on 28 and 29 November, 5 and 6 December, 12 and 13 December, and 19 and 20 December. That means there are eight opening days across four weekends. According to the current Feinkost organiser website, opening hours are 11 to 20 on Saturdays and 11 to 18 on Sundays. No regular Christmas market opening is announced from Monday to Friday. This event should therefore not be confused with the large Leipzig Christmas market on the market square, which is open every day. Opening times also differ across some external tourism calendars; this listing uses the information published directly by the organiser.

Christmas market at Feinkost 2026: unique gifts

Here you can look for handmade items away from the large sales stands. Creative traders at the site present, for example, porcelain, ceramics, jewellery, crocheted and knitted products. There are also artistic prints and illustrations. In addition, according to the organiser, the exhibitors change from day to day. So a second visit may well be worthwhile if you are looking for special gift ideas or did not find a favourite item on your first visit. The checked event overview does not provide a named exhibitor list with stand numbers for each event, so no specific traders are promised without evidence.

International food in the festive Feinkost courtyard

After exploring the market, you can try a range of specialities. The Feinkost cooperative has announced, among other things, Burmese food and Korean corn dogs. There will also be savoury grilled food, crêpes, and vegan and vegetarian dishes. Mulled wine and hot juice will help keep your hands warm. The illuminated surroundings and small market stalls are an important part of the atmosphere. The market is therefore particularly appealing if you prefer a small craft market to a traditional funfair. Prices at individual stalls are set by the traders on site.

Feinkost in Leipzig's Südvorstadt

The site is a creative destination in the southern centre of Leipzig. The Kunst- und Gewerbegenossenschaft Feinkost eG runs shops, studios and venues for cultural activities there. The courtyard also hosts flea markets and other events at different times of year. The Christmas market, however, is a separate Advent event with individually designed stalls. You can combine your visit with a walk along Karl-Liebknecht-Straße, for example. The distinctive mix of shops, food and local art has been part of this place's character for years. An unverified founding date for the Christmas market is deliberately not given here.

Admission, getting there and further information

The address is Karl-Liebknecht-Straße 36, 04107 Leipzig. Take tram lines 10 and 11 to Hohe Straße, then walk for a few minutes. Alternatively, take bus 89 to Schenkendorfstraße.
