Discover events, parties and culture in Oberwesel.
On the first Advent weekend, the historic Christmas market in Oberwesel invites you to browse and enjoy once again. On Saturday, extended opening hours for shops in the city center. The Christmas market takes place on Saturday, November 28, and Sunday, November 29, 2026, at the historic marketplace and in Rathausstraße. The city mayor is already looking forward with joy to his appointment with the kindergarten children from Oberwesel for decorating the tree. Christmas-wrapped "gifts" will find their place adorning the large Christmas tree in front of the town hall. The children will be rewarded for their packing efforts with sweets or chocolate personally from the city mayor. Selected vendors will offer high-quality crafts, handmade goods, self-made jewelry, and much more on both days. A children's carousel, horse-drawn carriage, and a children's program are designed to delight the little visitors. Admission is free.
This year, there will once again be an online wine tasting for everyone who cannot come to our wine cellar or who would like to enjoy a cozy "online" gathering in the comfort of their own home. Here we share a lot of interesting information about the wine year, the individual wines, and how to taste them properly. With every ordered package, you participate in a raffle during the wine tasting. We will start shipping the packages at the end of November 2026.

At the Collectible Cup Story Café on Tuesday, January 19, 2027, at 3 p.m., the topic will be "Safety in Everyday Life." Unfortunately, it still happens far too often that seniors, as well as younger people, become victims of scams over the phone or at their doorstep. The grandson trick and the legend of the false police officer are still successful, but they have long been replaced by an even more insidious scheme, the shock call with a traffic accident legend. Here, the victims are literally placed in a state of shock and are specifically robbed of their belongings. The financial damage is often very high, but the psychological consequences should also not be underestimated. This is how everyone can protect themselves from fraud Therefore, it is important for the police in Rhineland-Palatinate to inform as many people as possible about these and other scams, to explain how and why they work, and how simple means can help protect against them, as well as who to turn to if one has become a victim of a crime. The goal is to raise awareness of the dangers and convey suitable behaviors that help prevent becoming a victim of such fraud – because ANYONE can become a victim. Guests can expect an informative and interesting afternoon with coffee and cake. Please do not forget to bring the collectible cup set. The entry fee is 10 euros (including coffee & cake). Tickets can be purchased at the Cultural Center in Oberwesel (Rathausstr. 23) as well as online and at all Ticket Regional sales points, such as the Tourist Info Oberwesel.
