Events at Christmas time

What events take place in Graz during the Christmas season?

All of Graz’s lovingly designed Advent and Christmas markets offer their own distinctive themes until 24 December. On 31 December, look forward to the New Year’s Eve spectacle in the heart of Graz: water, fire, lasers and light come together once again in an impressive show against the stunning backdrop of Graz City Hall.

Here you will find a selection of events well worth visiting during Advent and around New Year’s Eve. Programme subject to change!
