Finn Village

The Finn Village Christmas Market brings authentic Finnish winter culture to the heart of Dresden, transforming the Dr.-Külz-Ring at the Altmarkt-Galerie into a magical Nordic wonderland. This Finnish-themed Christmas market offers visitors a unique escape from traditional German markets with its distinctive Scandinavian atmosphere and genuine Finnish traditions. Watch as skilled chefs prepare traditional flame-grilled salmon (Flammlachs) over open fires, a signature spectacle that draws crowds throughout the season. The market features cozy Nordic kotas (traditional Finnish huts) where visitors can warm up by crackling fires while sipping authentic Finnish glögi—available in both red and white varieties—a spiced mulled wine that's Finland's answer to German Glühwein. Families delight in meeting the beloved Moomin character, who travels from Finland for special appearances, and children can participate in Sunday family days featuring activities like baking sweet Finnish cardamom stockbrot over campfires. The market showcases an impressive selection of Finnish handicrafts, honey products, and Moomin merchandise alongside a Nordic gin bar serving seasonal cocktails. The festive atmosphere is enhanced by a beautifully decorated Christmas tree and the market's commitment to accessibility, accepting card payments throughout. Located centrally near the Altmarkt-Galerie with excellent public transport connections, Finn Village offers a refreshingly different Christmas market experience that extends beyond the holidays, remaining open through New Year's Eve with special celebrations.
