Tips & Advice

  • Bring the children and look out for St. Nicholas, who walks around the market over the weekend to greet Heppenheim's kids.
  • Give yourself time to walk all four squares, from the Marktplatz and Kirchplatz to the Amtshof and Winzerhof.
  • Clubs and direct producers who want a stall must apply between October 1 and 15, 2026, since there is no other application window.
  • Dress warmly for an early-December weekend outdoors, because the market spreads across open squares in the historic old town.
