Advent market Lights of Wallersee

What makes this market special

The setting is the Seekirchen lido, where the lights reflect in the lake. The first three Advent weekends belong to children with craft stations and to local craft, while carriages and boats cross the water free of charge and a mini train links the market to the family Advent in the centre.

The fourth weekend is different: on 19 December the market gives way to a winter solstice celebration with a fire show, which needs a ticket.

On the first three Advent weekends at the Seekirchen lido: 28/29 November, 5/6 and 12/13 December 2026, 14:00–19:00, food until 20:00.

Free of charge: horse-drawn carriage rides, boat trips across the lake and a mini train to the family Advent in the centre.

19 December: winter solstice celebration with a fire show (separate tickets); there is no Advent programme that weekend.

The illuminated Advent setting is open on weekdays too, without a programme.

  • One of the larger markets in the Seenland
  • Plenty of light, plenty of families
