Kitzbühel Advent

Traditional Christmas tunes and native sounds, which awaken memories, invite you to let the year end contemplatively. Through the musical background and the atmospheric mood, you can immerse yourself in the magic of Christmas past from childhood days and feel the glow of lights in your heart.

At the Kitzbühel Advent Market - one of the most tradition-rich Christmas markets in Tyrol - you can look forward to different live music every day, with festive sounds awaiting you both in the 750-year-old town center and in the town park. 

The exact program follows.

Traditional, romantic and atmospheric is the Christmas season in Kitzbühel, Tyrol. And what would an Advent market be without Advent stalls where you can buy Christmas tree decorations, woolen crafts and carvings for under the Christmas tree or as souvenirs? In Kitzbühel, year after year, local and regional craftsmen present their work. And not only that - you can watch some of them at work right on the spot.

Also this year, some representatives of the craftsmanship are represented at the Kitzbühel Advent Market. At Drechslerstube Hauser you can witness how a unique piece of work is created by master craftsmen with the highest precision and attention to detail. Woodcarver Christoph Rieser, one of our #LOCALHEROES, exhibits his unique carvings and gives an impression of his artistic work.

This year, due to the current situation, Kitzbühel has decided on reduced Christmas lighting in the town centre and in the town park.Every day at dusk, the historic town centre, the main traffic routes in Kitzbühel and its holiday villages as well as the town park will shine in Christmas splendour until 10 pm.

The Christmas lighting will be equipped with a specially created time control system and LED lights to ensure a contemplative time and enjoyable stroll through the Advent market despite the circumstances.
