Romantic Christmas Market in Straubing: Advent Atmosphere at St. Peter's Cemetery
The 8th Romantic Christmas Market brings warmth, craftsmanship, and Christmas delights back to Petersgasse in Straubing at the end of November 2026.

Christmas Market with Heart and Tradition
As early as the late nineties, the Friends of the Old Town organized an Advent market at this location. After a longer break, the idea for the Romantic Christmas Market arose anew, today serving as a atmospheric meeting point for visitors seeking tranquility, authenticity, and a special market atmosphere. The goal remains clear: enjoyment, culture, and a good cause are combined here.

Regional Delicacies and Handicrafts
At the stalls, Christmas delicacies, handmade crafts, and suitable gifts for the Advent season await. The market thrives on direct marketing, loving craftsmanship, and the typically regional character that many visitors appreciate in small, honest markets. Culinary delights are ensured, along with winter beverages and an offer focused on quality rather than quantity.

Atmospheric Backdrop with Cultural Program
The market includes a varied supporting program for the whole family. This includes school performances, cemetery tours, and musically accompanied readings. Particularly impressive: the illuminated St. Peter's Basilica and the sea of candles along the main path, which gives the historic site a quiet, festive aura in the twilight.
