Vilshofener Adventszauber

The Vilshofener Adventszauber (Vilshofen Advent Magic) is a new addition to Vilshofen's beloved Christmas market tradition, debuting in 2025 as the fourth weekend celebration along the scenic Donaupromenade. While the famous Schwimmender Christkindlmarkt (Floating Christmas Market) operates on the first three Advent weekends with its iconic ship component, this fourth weekend event offers a charming land-based alternative for those seeking festive cheer closer to Christmas. Set along the picturesque Danube River promenade, the market features various stalls showcasing traditional crafts and regional specialties in the same enchanting location that hosts Vilshofen's celebrated 20-year-old floating market. Visitors can enjoy the magical atmosphere created by festive illuminations and the warmth of Bavarian hospitality, with free admission making it accessible to all. The market benefits from Vilshofen's established Christmas market infrastructure, including the impressive nine-meter-high Glühwein pyramid and connections to the historic town square. Lower Bavarian specialties and handcrafted goods invite browsing and gift shopping in a cozy riverside setting. Free bus parking is available with advance registration through the tourism office, making group visits convenient. Experience authentic Bavarian Christmas traditions along the Danube during this special fourth Advent weekend celebration.
