Mondsee Advent
Mondsee Advent 2026
The Mondsee Advent is the largest market in the Salzkammergut: in front of St. Michael's basilica stand the food stalls and the stage, while the historic arcade of the palace holds the craft, sheltered and without crowds. Add a children's Advent with carousel, ponies and llama walks, the Krampus run on 29 November and the Christmas tree diving on 19 December.
