Saarburg Christmas Market

On the 2nd and 3rd Advent weekend, the Saarburg old town transforms into a festively illuminated Christmas world.

Around the glowing Christmas tree above the Leukbach and the illuminated Buttermarkt, visitors can expect regional mulled wine, culinary specialties, handicrafts, and local products.
A special highlight is the artificial ice rink at the Fruchtmarkt, which is open on all days.
Saint Nicholas, walking acts, music, children's programs, and performances by clubs and ensembles ensure varied entertainment.
Free city tours also invite guests to get to know the historical old town better.
