Singing Christmas Tree

The Singing Christmas Tree at Werdmühleplatz offers one of Zurich's most unique Christmas market experiences, featuring a spectacular tree-shaped stage where choirs from across Switzerland perform daily carol concerts. Since 1998, this beloved tradition has enchanted visitors with performances from children's choirs, gospel groups, school ensembles, and adult choirs, with shows twice daily on weekends. Located in a charming courtyard just steps from the famous Bahnhofstrasse shopping street, the market creates an intimate atmosphere enhanced by beautiful star lights hanging from surrounding trees. The market specializes in local bio-production specialties and Swiss culinary delights, including a cozy Fondue Chalet where visitors can enjoy traditional cheese fondue in a wooden chalet setting. Twelve food stands offer everything from raclette specialties to seasonal treats, while market stalls feature handcrafted gifts and local products. Special themed weekends add extra magic, including a Disney Weekend where choirs perform songs from classic and modern Disney films, and open singing events where visitors can join in the festive caroling. The market also features a traditional children's carousel (Kinderkarussell), making it particularly family-friendly. For a truly memorable Zurich Christmas experience, time your visit to catch one of the enchanting choir performances at 5:30 PM or 6:30 PM, with additional shows at 7:30 PM on Fridays and Saturdays.
