Fairy-Tale Christmas Market Kassel: Where the Brave Little Tailor enchants the Advent season Fairy-tale-like, witty, brave – and in 2026 even valiant: this year, the Kassel Fairy-Tale Christmas Market is all about "The Brave Little Tailor". The well-known Grimm fairy tale about courage, cleverness, and self-confidence forms the enchanting guiding theme of this year’s Christmas season in Kassel city center. From November 23 to December 30, 2026, Königsplatz, Friedrichsplatz, Opernplatz, and other areas of the city center will be transformed into a festive fairy-tale world. Open daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., the market invites visitors to stroll and enjoy; the food and drink stalls remain open until 10 p.m. From December 24 to 26, the market will be closed. Amid sparkling lights, festively decorated huts, and the scent of roasted almonds, a festive Christmas atmosphere is created that delights visitors young and old alike. Fairy-tale characters, lovingly staged scenes, and Christmas decorations bring the story to life and create a special backdrop in the heart of the city. Numerous stalls offering culinary specialties, handicrafts, and gift ideas invite visitors to linger. A varied program accompanies the Advent season and makes the Fairy-Tale Christmas Market a special meeting place in the run-up to Christmas. Note: The food and drink stalls are open until 10 p.m. All further information about the Christmas market will be available here soon: [www.weihnachtsmarkt-kassel.de](https://www.weihnachtsmarkt-kassel.de) powered by RCE-Eve
