Lankowitz Christmas Market

When the first Christmas lights shine and Advent melodies ring out, the festive pre-Christmas season begins in Maria Lankowitz. On Saturday, the 28th of November 2026, the Schlossplatz will transform into a Christmas meeting point starting at 1:00 p.m. The Lankowitzer Christkindlmarkt combines cherished Advent traditions with music, creative offerings, and many small delights for the whole family.

There is plenty to discover, especially for children: In the cookie workshop and at Christmas crafts with the Maria Lankowitz vocational school, small delicacies and handmade Christmas creations come to life. Wishes to the Christkind find their place at the Christkindl post office. Horse-drawn carriage rides, alpacas, and the visit of a barn owl create further special moments. The Nikolaus will also make two appearances.

The sounds of Christmas will be provided by the students of the MMS Edelschrott. In the pilgrimage church, the Gößnitz choir as well as the primary schools in Gößnitz and Maria Lankowitz will prepare for the Christmas season with Advent songs and poems.

A particularly atmospheric moment awaits the visitors at 5:30 p.m.: Accompanied by the sounds of the Bergkapelle Piberstein, the Christmas lights will be ceremoniously switched on. Afterwards, live music and a torch-lit hike will wrap up the Advent day. A Christmas scavenger hunt is also on the agenda.

The day begins as early as 10:00 a.m. with a holy mass and Advent wreath blessing in the pilgrimage church of Maria Lankowitz.
Maria Lankowitz is accessible by public transport.
