Lößnitz Christmas market with big mountain parade
=================================================

- Christmas market
- Christmas event

Lößnitz combines tradition with a festive atmosphere. A real experience in the Ore Mountains!

The Lößnitz Christmas market, a fixture of the Advent season since 1691, radiates a special festive atmosphere every year on the third weekend of Advent. The historic market square and the town center are transformed into an atmospheric sea of lights, accompanied by traditional sounds and enticing aromas. The market is ceremoniously opened on Friday evening with the enchanting Star March of the day-care centers and a prologue by angels and miners.

An outstanding highlight is the big mining parade on Sunday. Around 450 miners march through the town in magnificent uniforms, while the spectacle is broadcast live on a 21 m² LED screen to offer all guests an unforgettable view. The market is accompanied by the sounds of the Lößnitz bronze carillon.

In addition to the musical variety, to which regional choirs, brass bands and dialect bands contribute, exhibitions such as the model train show in the "Putzwolle" and the lovingly designed carving exhibition in the brewery, which presents local and Christmas mountains, invite you to discover.
