Third neighborhood Christmas market: Festive anticipation in Chemnitz-Sonnenberg!

On Saturday, November 29th, 2025, all Cologne residents and especially the residents of Sonnenberg can look forward to the third neighborhood Christmas market. This takes place on the outdoor area of ​​the social department store “Sparbüchse” at Lessingstrasse 13 and starts at 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. The Christmas market is specially designed to delight young and old visitors alike. Admission is free and everyone is welcome to stop by and enjoy the pre-Christmas season together.

This year, market visitors can expect a colorful program that has something in store for every age group. The family stage features a children's choir and various performances such as karaoke, dance, music and circus. There will also be musical sounds from singer-songwriters and electronic music behind the building. Your physical well-being is also taken care of: there is children's punch, mulled wine and various snacks at low prices. The organizers have shown a good hand and put together a varied program that will ensure a good atmosphere.

Initiatives and funding

The Kieweihnachtsmarkt is organized by the Sonnenberg district management, Selbsthilfe 91 e.V., the Bürgerplattform Nord-Ost, the AG Kieweihnachtsmarkt and many other actors and donors. This shows a strong sense of community and a lot of commitment from local actors. The financing comes from the Creative Axis Fund and numerous local companies have also taken part in the implementation. It becomes clear here that this market is not only a beautiful tradition, but also an important part of neighborhood support.

The main goal of the neighborhood Christmas market is to offer an alternative to large-scale commercial events and to promote social exchange and cultural participation. While many large Christmas markets often focus on the cost factor, this market invites everyone to celebrate together and create encounters - without any entry costs. Anyone who wants a contemplative Christmas atmosphere is welcome.

Welcoming atmosphere

The organizers hope that the neighborhood Christmas market will not only provide special encounters, but also strengthen the neighborhood. “We are looking forward to numerous visitors who would like to celebrate Advent with us,” said an organizer. The little guests will also have fun, with the family stage being a particular focus. It is guaranteed that everyone can immerse themselves in the festive spirit.

Overall, the third neighborhood Christmas market is a wonderful opportunity to meet in a pre-Christmas atmosphere, enjoy delicious food and drinks and experience the special community of the Sonnenberg. So, let’s go to the Christmas market – a few wonderful hours of festive joy await everyone!
