Munich-Pasing – Pasing Christmas Market 2026

Pasinger Christkindlmarkt 2026 takes place from Saturday, 28 November to Sunday, 20 December 2026 on all four Advent weekends in the square in front of Maria Schutz parish church in München-Pasing. You can discover handmade gifts, winter specialities and a varied programme featuring a visit from St Nicholas, children's activities and a Perchten parade.

Pasinger Christkindlmarkt 2026 in front of Maria Schutz

The traditional Pasinger Christkindlmarkt is organised by the operator group around the Pasinger Mariensäule association. You’ll find it right in front of Maria Schutz parish church on Bäckerstraße 21 in western Munich. According to the organisers, the market has been running since 1983 and celebrated its 40-year anniversary in 2024. Smaller, changing stalls also make it worth visiting on different weekends.

Four weekends with specific closure days

The official dates are 28 and 29 November, 5 and 6 December, 12 and 13 December, and 19 and 20 December 2026. This means the market is open beyond the first Advent weekend. It is closed from Monday to Friday between event weekends. You can stroll around the market on each of the eight open days from 13 to 19:30. The individual closure periods are listed explicitly in the event entry.

Pasinger Christkindlmarkt 2026: Opening and St Nicholas

The official opening is scheduled for Saturday, 28 November, at 16. According to the published programme, it will be attended by representatives of the operator group and the Pasinger Mariensäule association, among others. St Nicholas will also arrive on Saturday, 5 December 2026, at 16:30. He will read from his golden book and bring gifts for children. Face painting with Alexandra Pointner is planned for the same day from 14 to 17:30.

Children’s carousel and pre-Christmas programme

The organisers have announced a historic children’s carousel in the church square on several market days, including 5, 6, 12 and 13 December. However, the current programme does not name the carousel’s actual operators. So we have not linked to a specific ride based on guesswork. There will also be music and other stage events, with individual dates updated on the organisers’ website. This lets you plan your visit around your family’s interests.

Perchten procession and a shared farewell

On Saturday, 19 December, the Chiemgauer Erzdeifen are scheduled to take part in a Perchten parade at 18. In addition, the programme includes closing remarks by Peter Simon with a musical finale on Sunday, 20 December 2026, at 18:45. On selected Saturdays, the Rosary is also held at 17 in the Maria Schutz parish church. You can find the latest confirmed times in the official programme of the Pasinger Christkindlmarkt.

Getting there and other Christmas markets

The market is easy to reach in Munich-Pasing. Pedestrian routes lead from Pasing station to the church square; alternatively, you can use local bus and tram services. No general admission price was explicitly listed on the current organiser pages checked, so this field remains blank for now. You can find more Advent events in Munich in the Kirmestermine calendar. Note that this market ends after the fourth Sunday of Advent and does not stay open until Christmas Eve.
