Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2026
The Advent market transforms the main square of St. Johann in Tirol into a place of contemplation on Advent weekends and selected days. Visitors enjoy freshly prepared Tyrolean classics and special punch creations such as hot lemon gin or hibiscus-Campari punch. Local musicians provide the soundtrack while the fire pits create a cosy atmosphere. Children can enjoy crafts, a Christmas bakery and rides. There is no market on 5 December – instead the traditional St. Nicholas and Krampus parade of the St. Johanner Koasa Pass takes place. The market ends on 24 December and pairs perfectly with a winter holiday in the Kitzbühel Alps.
