From 14 November (Saturday) to 21 December (Monday), the German Christmas Market – Deutscher Weihnachtsmarkt will once again take place in Sofia's City Garden, in front of the Ivan Vazov National Theatre, just a 4–5-minute walk from our apartments.
This is the oldest Christmas market in Bulgaria, celebrating its 16th consecutive edition in 2026. It first opened in 2011 with the idea of bringing the magic and authentic atmosphere of German Christmas traditions and festive spirit to Sofia.
Once again, a miniature Christmas village will be created, featuring beautifully decorated wooden stalls offering visitors traditional German specialities, including sausages, French fries, pastries, mulled wine flavoured with cinnamon and cloves, as well as handmade souvenirs such as Christmas ornaments, decorations, candles and more.
The organisers have prepared a rich programme featuring various events and plenty of surprises for visitors of all ages, including children's art workshops, a stage hosting theatrical performances, Christmas concerts by kindergartens, schools and charitable foundations, as well as musical evenings featuring popular Bulgarian pop and jazz performers.
On the opening day, 14 November, the Christmas tree lights will be switched on.
Every year, the German Christmas Market supports a specific social cause by collecting donations and providing its stage and market grounds to charitable foundations.
The event is organised by DB – Events.
Opening Hours and Admission
Every day from 14 November (Saturday) to 21 December (Monday) – from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
