Thundorf – 17. Thundorf Village Christmas Market 2026

Thundorf Village Christmas Market 2026 takes place on Saturday, 21 November, and Sunday, 22 November 2026 in the centre of Thundorf in Unterfranken. For the 17th edition, almost the entire village turns into a Christmas market featuring handmade products, food stalls and music. The village associations organise the event together with the municipality.

Thundorf Village Christmas Market 2026: Two days in the town centre

The municipality of Thundorf has also confirmed the date in its official association calendar. The event listing from Markt Maßbach gives a start time of 15 o'clock for Saturday, 21 November. The village Christmas market is not confined to one large festival site. Instead, you can find Christmas offerings at numerous places in the village centre. The car park on Parkstraße in 97711 Thundorf is a useful landmark. You can also follow the signs to the different market areas.

Stalls in courtyards, halls and historic buildings

According to the municipal announcement, 67 exhibitors from Thundorf and the surrounding region are expected. They will present only products they have made themselves. The market also extends, for example, across the courtyard of the old estate, the festival hall, the old brewery, the listed kindergarten, the church square, the Ritterkeller, the municipal depot and the music club. The two churches are also part of the event. So it is worth allowing plenty of time for a walk around.

You can browse handmade jewellery, woodwork, glassware and paper goods. The municipality also mentions jams with winter spices, Christmas biscuits and other homemade products. The traditionally made and decorated Advent wreaths also benefit the local kindergarten. In addition, small nativity scenes and accessories for Christmas decorations are announced. Your purchases will therefore support regional exhibitors and local institutions.

Music programme and visit from St Nicholas

The official municipal event listing announces the Rhöner Saxophöner for Saturday and the Lauertalkapelle Rothhausen at the music club in the evening. On Sunday, the Alphornbläser Schwarze Berge and other musical performances are part of the programme. Various choirs will also perform in the churches on both days.

You can find the exact times of other performances in the municipality's latest programme.
