ADVENT MARKETS IN THE GARDEN OF AUSTRIA

Let yourself be embraced by the magic of Advent in Eastern Styria. The lights of the markets glow warmly, the scent of cinnamon and mulled wine fills the air, and handmade treasures tell of genuine craftsmanship. Children's eyes light up as they marvel at living nativity scenes or take their first turns on the ice rink.

Here you will not only find gifts, but also the peace and quiet that Advent really means. Feel the joy - and take a piece of Christmas magic home with you from the Advent markets of Eastern Styria.

Top-Events in Eastern Styria

In spring, the Apple Route is a delight when the orchards are in full bloom and various festivals are organised around the apple harvest. In summer, open-air events such as the Schlosshofserenade attract visitors. In autumn, people dance at the Winzerfest, taste the freshly pressed grapes and celebrate the grape harvest. The year ends on a contemplative note with a special backdrop in the Vorau open-air museum at the Joglland Advent g'spian.

HIGHLIGHT 2025: Styrian Ball in the Vienna Hofburg - Experience East Styrian hospitality and celebrate the start of the ball season at the Styrian Ball 2025!
