Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2026
The Lichtenberger Winterzeit combines a wintery Christmas atmosphere with the excitement of a classic funfair. In addition to the large rides and Ferris wheel there are stalls offering sweets, savoury specialities and hot drinks. The star mascot brings extra joy, especially on Wednesdays and public holidays. Santa Claus appears on 6 December and on Advent Sundays. Some large rides open later on Sundays for noise-protection reasons; all ride operations end 30 minutes before closing time.

Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in Berlin
- Best reached by public transport: tram lines 16, 27, M6, M8, M17 to Arendsweg or bus 256/N56 to Liebenwalder Str./Landsberger Allee – the market is right at the stop.
- Dress warmly and weatherproof; the open site can be windy and cold. Sturdy shoes are recommended.
- Book accommodation in Lichtenberg, Prenzlauer Berg or Friedrichshain early, as the Advent season in Berlin is in high demand.
- Come on Wednesday for Family Day and the reduced ride prices – especially suitable for a relaxed afternoon with children.
- The light atmosphere is most beautiful in the evening; allow enough time for the Ferris wheel and several attractions.
