Advent Magic on Bayrhamerplatz

Advent Magic on Bayrhamerplatz 2026

The Advent magic on Bayrhamerplatz is the small counterpart to the big market in the Alte Saline: twelve huts around the Zeiserlbrunnen fountain, which wears a large Advent wreath in December. The stallholders change every weekend, choirs and bands from the Tennengau sing between them, and the Silent Night Museum in Franz Xaver Gruber's former home is right opposite.
