Berlin – Finnish Christmas bazaar 2026

Finnish Christmas Bazaar 2026 takes place on Saturday, 14 November, and Sunday, 15 November 2026 in Berlin-Kreuzberg. The Finland Centre Berlin invites you to the Passionskirche on Marheinekeplatz and the adjoining courtyard from 12:00 to 18:00 each day. You can look forward to Finnish specialities, Nordic arts and crafts, and an insight into Finland’s pre-Christmas traditions. Admission is free; donations are requested at the entrance.

Finnish Christmas Market 2026: Opening times

The market opens at 12:00 on Saturday, 14 November, and Sunday, 15 November 2026, and closes at 18:00. This means you have the same visiting hours on both days. The date is listed directly on the official Finnland-Zentrum website. The market takes place that weekend and is not a Berlin Christmas market that stays open continuously for several weeks. For that reason, be sure to take the two event days into account when planning your visit.

Nordic handicrafts and gift ideas

According to official city and tourism information, you can find handmade goods and gift ideas from Finland at the market. These include knitted socks, gloves and hats, as well as Finnish design products and food. Part of the market's special appeal is its focus on the culture of one country. If you're looking for unique souvenirs, you can browse the sales areas inside the church and in the courtyard.

Finnish Christmas Market 2026: Food and drink

The event also focuses on Finnish specialities. Information from the Nordic Embassies mentions flame-grilled salmon, sweets and delicacies, among other things. Glögi, the Nordic version of mulled wine, is also a typical offering. Berlin's tourism information also mentions home-baked goods and coffee. However, individual prices and a complete menu have not been publicly confirmed. So plan your spending on shopping and food separately from the free admission.

Joulupukki: Visit from the Finnish Father Christmas

Families can enjoy a special tradition: according to official Berlin tourism information, the Finnish Father Christmas, Joulupukki, is scheduled to appear at 14:00 and 16:00 on both days. Children can meet Father Christmas and enjoy the market as a family outing. As programme details may change at short notice, it's a good idea to check the event information before you travel. No further stage programme with fixed times is claimed here.
