Medieval Christmas Market in Ribeauvillé

December 6, 7, 13, and 14, 2025

At Christmas time, Ribeauvillé sparkles with a thousand lights and immerses visitors in a joyful medieval atmosphere. The city of minstrels draws on its history to offer a particularly original and successful medieval Christmas market: its array of entertainment will transport you to another world (beggars, peasants, dancers, street performers), its stalls will delight food lovers (savory and sweet treats, spit-roasted wild boar accompanied by cervoise and wine, etc.) and decoration enthusiasts (Advent wreaths, handmade nativity scenes, candles, etc.). This Christmas market is a real spectacle for young and old alike.
