Welcome to the 2026 Weihnachtstraum in Bad Köstritz
The Weihnachtstraum in Bad Köstritz is a small, cozy Advent market organized by the local fire brigade association together with the town's Edeka supermarket, held right on the store's parking lot. In this town of the four B's, known for its spa, beer, flowers and baroque music along the Weiße Elster river, the market brings a warm, community feel to the pre Christmas season.
