Neumarkter Weihnachtsmarkt
Decorated wooden huts line the square, centered around a cozy fireplace serving Feuerzangenbowle directly in front of a 12-meter-tall Christmas tree. Visitors can browse handcrafted goods made from wood, stone, and natural materials, alongside locally embroidered items. Entertainment includes live performances on the market stage, visits from the Neumarkt Christkind, and a traditional winter demon run by the Oberpfälzer Schlossteufel.
