ABOUT THE FAIR
The Husum Christmas Market, an annual highlight in the picturesque North Sea town of Husum, shines in festive splendor each year from the last week of November until the end of December. Since its inaugural event in 1967, the market has become a popular gathering spot for locals and visitors alike. It symbolizes the festive pre-Christmas season and attracts numerous visitors annually.
The town of Husum, known for its idyllic location on the North Sea and rich cultural history, provides the perfect setting for this traditional Christmas market. It is managed by Tourismus und Stadtmarketing Husum GmbH, responsible not only for organizing the event but also for the unique experience it offers its visitors.
The main venue, the market square, surrounded by historic buildings and the famous Husum landmark, the Tine Fountain, creates a particularly festive and authentic atmosphere for the Christmas market. The market stalls spread throughout this central area, offering a variety of products and culinary delights.
Visitors can enjoy traditional North German treats like freshly baked gingerbread, marzipan, and hearty delicacies, complemented by typical Christmas beverages such as mulled wine and punch. A distinctive feature of the market is its cozy, almost familial atmosphere, setting it apart from larger, commercial markets. Visitors have the opportunity to explore a wide range of crafts, gift items, and local specialties. The market offers a perfect chance to immerse oneself in the Christmas spirit while finding unique gifts for loved ones. The combination of historic ambiance, traditional treats, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere makes it an unforgettable experience for all ages.
The Husum Christmas Market will take place on 42 days from Monday, 16. November to Sunday, 27. December 2026 in Husum.
