Sauerlach – St Nicholas Fair 2026
What to expect
The Nikolaus-Dult Sauerlach 2026 takes place from Friday, 20 November to Sunday, 22 November 2026 in the exhibition hall at the Cultural and Sports Centre. The organisers of the Sauerlach fair confirm daily opening hours of 10 to 18 and free admission. At this pre-Christmas arts and crafts fair, around 90 exhibitors present handmade goods, creative gift ideas and culinary specialities. The event is particularly well known for high-quality work made from natural materials and the opportunity to speak directly with the exhibitors.
Nikolaus-Dult Sauerlach 2026: dates and opening times
The organiser lists the three days as Friday, 20 November, Saturday, 21 November, and Sunday, 22 November 2026. The Nikolaus-Dult is scheduled to be open from 10 to 18 on all three days. However, the Sunday falls on Totensonntag. The organisers' website explicitly lists it as an event day but does not mention any special rules for the day. You should therefore confirm directly with the organisers that the event is going ahead on Sunday and check for any changes. The market ends on 22 November and does not run throughout the Advent season.
Traditional crafts since 1979
The Sauerlach Dult particularly highlights its roots dating back to 1979. It focuses on high-quality craftsmanship, creative design and original ideas. You'll find not only typical Christmas decorations but also products that can be used all year round. The organisers describe the Dult as a sales fair with around 90 exhibitors. This is a current figure from the organisers, not a minimum line-up of rides invented by us. The selection ranges from traditional crafts to modern design products.
Nikolaus-Dult Sauerlach 2026: gift ideas made from special materials
The official exhibitor list includes, for example, handmade pottery for everyday use, made-to-measure shoes, handmade hats and textiles made from boiled merino wool. There are also turned spice mills, bowls, cooking spoons and wooden items. The organiser also promotes jewellery, pictures, sculptures, lighting objects and attractive things for the home or garden. This makes Nikolaus-Dult particularly suitable for finding a personal Christmas gift. Individual traders may change before the event; there is no guarantee that any specific product will be available.
Hands-on workshops for children
Children can enjoy plenty at Nikolaus-Dult too. According to the organisers, the event offers creative workshops and workshops for children. A pottery workshop is particularly highlighted, where young visitors can try their hand at pottery. This makes the event more than just a sales exhibition. However, the current general organiser information does not give details about workshop prices or possible registration deadlines. So, if you are planning a workshop visit, ask directly about the current participation terms beforehand.
Delicacies and culinary specialities
As well as art and crafts, Sauerlacher Dult also offers sweet and savoury specialities. The organisers mention various foods and treats as part of the sales fair. You can therefore combine your visit with buying special spices, confectionery and other products. The selection differs from that at an ordinary Christmas market, as handcrafted everyday items are also a focus. Individual food and drinks are not necessarily free, even though admission to the fair is free.
Address, directions and official information
The event takes place in the exhibition hall at the Kultur- und Sportzentrum, Am Otterloher Feld 2, 82054 Sauerlach. The organisers explicitly point out that only a few parking spaces are available on site. They therefore recommend travelling by S-Bahn line S3 from Munich or Holzkirchen. The official Sauerlacher-Dult website confirms the dates, admission, exhibitors and directions. You can find more markets and Dult events in the funfair finder. In particular, check the latest information from the organisers before visiting on Sunday.
