ポズナン クリスマスマーケット 2025

The Christmas Market in Poznań is an atmospheric holiday event in the heart of the city for 2025. Organized annually by the municipal cultural department and MTP, it attracts visitors from all over Poland and abroad.

The market is located in Poznań’s historic Old Town, primarily on the impressive Stary Rynek (Old Market Square) and partially on the nearby Plac Wolności. The picturesque surroundings, with medieval buildings and Christmas decorations, create a unique atmosphere that invites leisurely strolls and photography right in the city center.

Visitors can wander among the stalls offering traditional Polish crafts such as carved wooden products, handmade jewelry, and cozy decorations, while sampling local delicacies like pierogi, pyry z gzikiem, and grilled cheese. Warm, spiced mulled wine is served in mugs, and the scent of roasted chestnuts wafts through the air. The selection also includes beautiful Christmas souvenirs and unique home décor items, making the market a culinary and shopping experience beyond the ordinary.

One of the highlights of the Christmas Market is the Poznań Ice Festival, where internationally recognized ice sculptors compete and create breathtaking works of art from ice. The festival area is set up at Targi Poznańskie (the Poznań International Fairgrounds), where visitors can stroll among the impressive ice sculptures and watch the artists at work in real time.

For families with children, there are plenty of activities such as a visit to Santa’s House, where kids can meet Santa Claus in person and hand over their wish lists. In the elves’ workshop, interactive holiday workshops are held where children can craft decorations and write letters to Santa, ride nostalgic carousels, and hop aboard the charming Christmas Train that winds its way through the market area.

The entertainment program is extensive, featuring everything from local music, choir concerts, and theatrical performances to sparkling light installations and contests like holiday quizzes and silent disco nights. Each weekend brings a special theme that may include gospel concerts, dance shows, and holiday competitions, all contributing to a lively festive spirit in the heart of the city.

A key element of the market is its charitable work. During various events—such as “Razem ku Nadziei”—funds are raised for local families and children in need. Many vendors and stages are dedicated to collecting donations for different organizations, strengthening the local community and spreading warmth during the cold season.
