Event Details
Welcome to the Schlebuscher Adventsmarkt 2026 in Leverkusen
The Schlebuscher Adventsmarkt 2026 takes place on 5 and 6 December in Leverkusen-Schlebusch and is one of the smaller, neighborhood-style Christmas markets in the area. Organised by the Werbe- und Fördergemeinschaft Schlebusch e. V., it stretches along the pedestrian zone between Lindenplatz and St. Andreas Church. Admission is free. Unlike large city Christmas markets, it is shaped by local clubs, crafts and a calmer, community atmosphere.

Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2026
The Schlebuscher Adventsmarkt 2026 runs over two days: Saturday 5 December and Sunday 6 December. In recent editions the market typically opened Saturday from 11:00 to 22:00 and Sunday from 11:00 to 18:00. Exact 2026 opening hours should be checked closer to the date on schlebusch-online.net. Music and a supporting programme are common; a regular highlight in past years has been joint Christmas carol singing in front of St. Andreas on Sunday afternoon.
The farmers’ market on Arkadenplatz often runs on Saturday morning nearby and pairs well with a visit. The offer stays deliberately local and manageable – more a district meeting place than a tourist spectacle.
