Arts & crafts Christmas market in Gatow

Christmas market in Berlin on 15 December 2024

Once again this year, the Gatow arts and crafts Christmas market will delight young and old alike. Whether you are looking for an original Christmas present, want to listen to Christmas carols or even sing yourself - there is something for everyone here!

The Gatow Christmas market is perfect for a festive and contemplative family outing. Despite its rather small size compared to the many other Christmas markets in Berlin, there is a lot to discover here.

Original handicrafts to admire and give as gifts

Fans of handicrafts will be wide-eyed at this offer: Around 40 artisans sell unusual goods and handmade products to visitors to the Christmas market. As you stroll along, you can learn more about the history of Gatow and the initiatives of the local organisations.

Music and dancing straight into the Christmas spirit

As every year, you can listen to the swing and blues melodies of the Kladower Forum's Imchen Kombo in the church. The lively church singing will give you goosebumps and get you in the Christmas spirit. For all those who don't just want to listen, there will be an Advent carol sing-along from dusk onwards. Children can take part in a dance workshop in the afternoon.

The light of peace from Bethlehem for all

As part of the Peace Light campaign, the light lit in Bethlehem is transported to Germany via Vienna and is passed on to others. At the end of the Christmas market, every visitor can take a copy of the Light of Peace home with them and thus always remember this unforgettable experience.
