The Munich Christmas market takes place every year in the run-up to Christmas. Around 3 million people visit this Christmas market on Marienplatz every year. With around 180 market traders and an area of 25,000 square metres, the Christkindlmarkt in Munich is one of the largest Christmas markets in Europe.

Would you like to be a market participant at the Munich Christmas Market?

The organiser is particularly interested in the following applications:

  • traditional Christmas goods and stall decorations that reflect the old Bavarian, Alpine character of the Munich Christmas Market
  • Traders with demonstrations at the stand
  • Artisans
  • bavarian specialities (also in organic quality)

Experience has shown that the number of applications will exceed the available sales areas/facilities, so unfortunately we cannot consider all applicants. Please understand that we can only make the selection after the application deadline. We will of course inform you of our decision in writing as soon as possible.
