Bad Grönenbach – Sterntalermarkt 2026

The Sterntalermarkt Bad Grönenbach 2026 welcomes you to the town centre on Friday, 20 November, and Saturday, 21 November 2026. Around the market square, you’ll find arts and crafts, Christmas gift ideas, music and activities for children. The pre-Christmas market is organised by the tourist information office together with the business association. According to the latest official event poster, the market is open on Friday from 16 to 21 and on Saturday from 14 to 21. There are also additional performances and a nativity scene exhibition in several venues.

Sterntalermarkt Bad Grönenbach 2026: Dates and opening times

The latest municipal newsletter, “Bad Grönenbacher Marktnachrichten”, from November 2026 clearly confirms the two event days. The market is open on Friday, 20 November 2026, from 16 to 21. On Saturday, 21 November 2026, you can visit the market from 14 to 21. Although the official website has updated the event dates to 2026, the programme section below still shows the day headings from the previous edition. We have therefore used only programme notices in the latest municipal newsletter that explicitly refer to 2026 as our source for the opening times.

Handmade gifts and decorations

The market stalls are spread around the market square, whose historic buildings make a lovely backdrop for an Advent stroll. According to the municipality, you’ll find handcrafted items, wooden goods and decorations, stone jewellery, pottery and special gift ideas. Sweet and savoury food is also available. Local shops may stay open longer during the event, but their actual opening times may differ from those of the Christmas market. If you want to buy something specific, check directly with the shop in question.

Sterntalermarkt Bad Grönenbach 2026: Theatre, brass band music and nativity scenes on Friday

Friday’s programme starts at 16 with the nativity scene exhibition at Haus des Gastes. Donations for the Sternstunden charity campaign are welcome. At the same time, the Kasperltheater with Marie Luise Kaiser performs at Postsaal. A separate admission fee of three euros is specified. At 17, the Steinheimer Alphornbläser perform on the market square or by the church. This is followed at 18 by an evening serenade with the Bad Grönenbacher Musikanten. At around 19, there is a line dancing performance at Postsaal. You can plan your market visit around a performance.

Magician and Christmas baking on Saturday

On Saturday, the nativity scene exhibition is open from 14 to 21. A performance by magician Timo begins at 14:30 at Postsaal. At the same time, the Protestant Reformed pavilion invites children to bake Christmas treats and do crafts from 14:30 to 17:30. Families can then enjoy more music groups and performances. For example, the Flashdance-Mädels of SV Lachen perform at 15:30. Zeller Blasmusik plays from 17, followed by the alphorn players from Woringen at 18. The evening’s highlight is the fire show “Die Zündler”, scheduled for 19.

Various venues around town

The market stalls are on the central market square. However, several programme events take place away from the stalls, at Haus des Gastes, Postsaal and the Protestant Reformed pavilion. It’s therefore a good idea to check the exact venue on the official programme poster before going to a particular performance. The municipal documents we checked do not explicitly state a general admission price for the market area. We therefore cannot confirm that entry is free. A specific admission price is listed for the Kasperltheater on Friday.

Getting there and official information

The Sterntalermarkt takes place in the town centre around the market square, 87730 Bad Grönenbach. You can start your visit there and walk to the other programme venues. The official municipal website describes what the market has to offer. The official November 2026 market newsletter contains the latest notices with specific times and performance details. You can find other pre-Christmas markets using our funfair finder. In particular, note that the older programme text still available on the municipal website does not apply to the 2026 edition.
