The official opening, with Father Christmas and the lighting of the Südermarkt fir tree, takes place on 23 November at 17.

Flensburger Weihnachtsmarkt 2026: Dates and opening times

The current website of Tourismus Agentur Flensburger Förde confirms the overall period as 16 November to 30 December 2026. According to the website, the stalls are open from 11 to 22 on Mondays to Saturdays and from 11 to 20 on Sundays. On Thursday, 24 December, the market is open for a shorter period only, from 11 to 14. The three explicitly stated closing days also apply. The Südermarkt Christmas market ends on 23 December; after that, the stalls on Holm, Große Straße and Nordermarkt remain open until 30 December. This means that not all parts of the market are open towards the end of the year.

Scandinavian charm along the Hyggemeile

The so-called Hyggemeile runs from Südermarkt via Holm and Große Straße to Nordermarkt. Scandinavian-style huts are the main attraction at Südermarkt. The organiser mentions, among other things, the world's smallest bar serving Tallinn punch, the Witch's House and the heated ski hut. Stalls selling arts and crafts and culinary specialities also invite you to browse. On Advent weekends, a small arts and crafts market with changing exhibitors is also held in Marienkirchhof at Nordermarkt. It is a separate part of the market and is not open on every day of the main event.

Flensburger Weihnachtsmarkt 2026: Opening and Father Christmas

Flensburger Weihnachtsmarkt officially opens at Südermarkt on Monday, 23 November 2026, at 17. According to the organiser, the Christmas pyramid and the festive lighting on the Christmas tree are highlighted during the ceremony. The traditional waking of Father Christmas is also on the programme on Saturday, 28 November, at 15 in Große Straße, in front of number 77. Children are meant to wake Father Christmas with loud calls and singing. The organiser also announces children's activities at Nordermarkt from 15 on Advent Sundays.

Advent programme and wish lists

There are other events in Flensburg city centre during Advent. A Christmas carol singalong is scheduled for Saturday, 19 December, at 16:30 at Nordermarkt. Children can also leave their wishes and letters at Father Christmas's post office in the tourist information office until 10 December. The Nord-Ostsee Sparkasse wish tree at Nordermarkt is another activity for children. Not every activity takes place on every market day, so check the individual dates separately from the regular opening times.

Getting there, location and practical information

You will find the Christmas market stalls in the city centre around Südermarkt, Holm, Große Straße and Nordermarkt. The tourist agency recommends driving to the Exe car park and taking the bus from there to the city centre. For the so-called Flensticket, it lists a price of 1,50 euros per day for up to five people; bus routes 10 and 11 run towards the centre. This amount is for travel, not admission to the market. No general admission price is listed in the official Christmas market information we checked, so we have left out unverified prices.

Official information about Flensburger Weihnachtsmarkt 2026

The official Christmas market page of the Flensburger Förde Tourism Agency contains the current dates, programme, different market areas and closing days. An older organiser application document gives a later closing time for Friday and Saturday than the current visitor page, so we use the visitor opening times currently published. You can also find more Christmas markets and dates in northern Germany using our Kirmestermine-Finder. Before travelling, check the organiser's website for any last-minute changes.
