Pop-up hut at the Gera Fairy Tale Market: Creative diversity awaits!
Things will be exciting again in the heart of Gera this year at Christmas: from November 27th to December 23rd, 2025, visitors can look forward to a diverse pop-up hut at the central market square. This is designed in cooperation with local traders, artisans and cultural workers and promises a daily, changing range of handmade gift ideas and culinary specialties. Gera.de reports that every day is creatively designed by different providers, which ensures variety and fresh ideas.
Participation in this inspiring market is particularly attractive for interested traders and cultural workers. You can secure a place in the hut for just 55 euros per day. Registrations are now available via an online application form, with the application deadline ending on October 24, 2025. Elisabeth Kotschew, the city manager of the city of Gera, is the contact person for all questions about participation and is available on 0365-77307666 or by email at citymanagement@gera.de.
Creative work in the marketplace
On May 17, 2025, Gera will captivate citizens with its first pop-up market on the market square. This Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., around 60 actors will present their self-created products, including jewelry, porcelain and accessories. The special? There are numerous participation opportunities for young and old, true to the motto “Creativity is for everyone”. Studio Gera emphasizes that physical well-being will also be taken care of - local restaurateurs will bring their culinary delicacies and a musical supporting program will ensure a good mood.
The aim of the market is not only to stimulate cultural life in Gera, but also to revitalize the city center. The financing is impressive: the project was supported by the “Sustainable City Centers and Centers” funding program, which impressively underlines the importance of the market for the city.
Various market days and events at a glance
As far as the regional marketplace is concerned, the year offers many other events: On November 16, 2025, the creative, art and design market awaits visitors. On the following weekends, there are worth seeing craft markets in Nastätten and Bergisch Gladbach, while on December 24, 2025 you can look forward to the festive atmosphere of the Christmas market. However, some dates have to be canceled here and there - as meine-kunsthandwerker-termine.de reports, many craft markets are canceled, so the vendors need to have tact in order to position themselves well.
For all those curious and interested in art, we can only hope that the pop-up hut and the other markets will be a complete success and contribute to urban life in Gera. These are exciting times that we can experience together!
