For many years, the Christmas Market in Toruń has invariably taken place in the Old Town Square. At this time, this part of the city turns into a unique place, full of festive decorations, twinkling lights and tempting smells. This event usually lasts for several weeks, starting at the end of November and finishing just before Christmas itself.

What is this year's schedule for the Toruń Christmas Market?

In 2025, the organisers have invariably ensured a rich programme full of attractions. The grand opening of the Christmas market is scheduled for 21 November, when the gates will be officially opened at 10:00.

The exact schedule of the Toruń Christmas Market is not yet known. However, we do know two surprises that the organisers of the fair have planned for 2025:

• 29 November 2025, the band SOUND'N'GRACE will perform on the stage of the Toruń Christmas Fair,

• 5-7 December 2025 Santa in the Sky is planned. Participants will be able to sit at a Christmas table that will be raised 50 metres above the ground. Refreshments, extraordinary views and a unique festive atmosphere are planned during the approximately 40-minute 'flight'. Seat reservations apply.

Last year' s Christmas market in Toruń was full of attractions that attracted crowds of residents and tourists. Among the most interesting events were:

• workshops on writing letters to Santa Claus with Agatka the Gnome,

• fair theatre in the Old Toruń Gingerbread House,

• a concert by Gosia Andrzejewicz.

Throughout the fair - until 22 December - visitors could attend concerts by local artists, parades, children's animations and dance performances.

November also brought many interesting events, such as the workshop 'Where did gingerbread come from in Toruń?' or an auction for the 'Hope' hospice in Toruń, combined with a concert by the band Roxana Tutaj & Good Omen.

December was also marked by festive fun - from children's discos and attractions in the Snow Sun Park to gingerbread baking workshops and a Coffee Time concert. At the end of the fair, on 22 December, there was a special concert by Kamil Czeszel with a pianist.

All this took place during last year's edition of the Toruń Christmas Market, which provided residents and tourists with a lot of joy and Christmas excitement. This year, the organisers also promise plenty of winter attractions, concerts and family surprises to bring the Christmas atmosphere back to the heart of the city.

As the 2025 Christmas Market in Toruń is open every day for a month, you are sure to find time to visit it. What's more, the hours it will be open are tailored to the needs of visitors, allowing both morning and evening visits.

Christmas Market in Toruń opening hours:

• Monday to Thursday from 12.00 to 21.00,

• Friday 12.00 to 22.00,

• Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m,

• Sunday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

At weekends, the opening hours are extended due to the rich artistic programme and the higher traffic. In this way, the organisers want to make it possible to enjoy the attractions for longer and to savour the festive offerings of the food zone.

What is the best time to visit the market?

We recommend visiting the market in the afternoon or evening, when it has a special charm. Strolling around the market in the afternoon allows you to enjoy the festive atmosphere and also to look forward to the sunset, when the lights come on, creating an amazing atmosphere. There are also performances during these hours that are sure to make your stay more enjoyable. Mainly in the evenings, local artists take the stage, so you can listen to concerts, watch theatre and take part in various animations.

In 2025, the Toruń Christmas Market will begin on 21 November and last for a month. There will be no attractions on public holidays such as Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. The official closing on 21 December brings the whole event to a close.

Fair in Toruń important dates:

• The Christmas Fair in Toruń will begin on 21 November.

• The Christmas market will run until 21 December, giving visitors a whole month to enjoy the festive attractions.

When is the best time to go?

For those who want to savour the Christmas atmosphere in peace and quiet, we recommend visiting the fair at the end of November or in the first weeks of December. At this time, it is less crowded and the stalls are fully stocked (the closer you get to Christmas, the more interesting assortment may be less available).

Postponing your visit until the last days of the fair may not be a good idea, but it has its pros and cons. On the one hand, there are attractive sales and promotions just before Christmas, especially on baubles and Christmas decorations. Many retailers, just before the event ends, start offering discounts on their stalls in order to get rid of the merchandise. This is when unique gifts can be purchased at favourable prices. On the other hand, there is no rule about this and some stalls with a more interesting range may already be less stocked, limiting the choice. During the festive period and before the New Year, the fair will be closed. At a later date, we recommend visiting other markets, such as Poznań or Wrocław.

How do I get to the fair conveniently?
