Tips & Advice
- Combine your visit with the Dickensfestijn in the nearby Bergkwartier, which takes place at the same time as the Christmas market on the Brink.
- Vendors should send a complete application by 18 October 2026, because incomplete or late applications may not be processed, and decisions come by 6 November.
- Plan on using a rented stall with the required Christmas lighting, since only snack-sector businesses are allowed to bring their own setup to the market.
- If you also want to see the Lebuïnuskerk Christmas market, remember it runs Thursday through Saturday, not on the Sunday of the Brink market.
Special Events & Promotions
- The 35th edition of the market
