The market traditionally opens on the first weekend of Advent, running from Thursday afternoon through Sunday. Typical hours are around 4 pm on Thursday, 3 pm on Friday, and mornings through early evening on Saturday and Sunday. Throughout the weekend, festive activities spread across several squares in the old town, including concerts, craft sessions and a winter village for children. As exact dates and opening hours can shift slightly from year to year, checking the official announcement from the city of Neuruppin closer to the date is recommended.
