Lutherstadt Eisleben – Soup Festival with Advent Market 2027

Soup Festival with Advent Market 2027 in Lutherstadt Eisleben is provisionally expected to take place on Saturday, 13 November 2027, following the pattern of previous years. The local support association recently held an evening at Gertrud Church in the Nicolaiviertel, with a range of soups, Advent market stalls and music. This special combination brings a visit to the market together with a cosy stay in the historic church. The date follows the pattern of previous years, while opening times and offers are based on information available as of 2026; the 2027 edition has not yet been officially confirmed.

Soup Festival with Advent Market 2027: Date and opening times

Saturday, 13 November 2027, is a provisional guide. In 2026, the festival started at 17:00 o’clock and ended at 23:00 o’clock. These times have therefore been added to the calendar for the possible next edition for now. Unlike an all-day Christmas market, the Soup Festival is designed as an evening event. Check the exact times and the date for 2027 with the support association or in the city calendar before your visit.

Soups, hot drinks and an Advent evening

The name already reveals the event’s culinary speciality. For the 2026 edition, Lutherstadt Eisleben had announced various soups, slices of bread with lard and mulled wine. You could therefore combine your visit with a warm evening meal. Which soups and drinks will be available in the new year is not yet known in detail. Individual prices have also not been confirmed. So a complete menu for 2027 cannot be provided at present.

Soup Festival with Christmas Market 2027: Gift Ideas

Alongside the soup stalls, a small Christmas market was part of the event the previous year. The advertised selection included light-up houses, Bascetta stars, special candles and gift wrapping. A Christmas flea market was also planned. Whether the same traders and goods will return in 2027 depends on a new announcement. Even so, looking back shows why the festival appeals to people who enjoy a small market with handmade items.

St Gertrud's Church and the Nicolaiviertel

The Soup Festival is organised by the Förderverein Gertrudkirche – Nicolaiviertel Lutherstadt Eisleben. The venue is at Nicolaistraße 30, 06295 Lutherstadt Eisleben. Its location in the Nicolaiviertel is important: when navigating, do not select the district of Helfta. The historic church is used by the Förderverein for cultural events and gatherings. This gives the evening a different setting from a large market in an open fairground.

Music, admission and latest information

At the 2026 edition, watercolour animal portraits and musical performances were part of the advertised programme. However, no confirmed names, performance times or programme items have yet been announced for 2027. General admission arrangements and visitor parking have also not been specifically confirmed. You can read the latest official announcement in the event calendar of Lutherstadt Eisleben. The Förderverein also shares information about events at the church. For other Christmas markets, the Kirmestermine finder gives you an overview.
