Schlägler Advent

Traditional Schlägl Advent in the Meierhof of Schlägl Abbey.

December 5, 6, and 8, 2026

Every year around December 8, the Schlägler Advent Market serves as a “meeting place.” People gather at the Meierhof to soak up the pre-Christmas atmosphere, stock up on their first Christmas gifts, and enjoy the rich culinary and cultural offerings.

Over 60 vendors showcase their goods and handicrafts across an area of more than 1,000 m², spread over two floors.
