Discover the festive winter season in Forchheim with our comprehensive event guide. We present all the important Christmas activities in the historic Imperial City that appeal to both locals and visitors.
The medieval marketplace transforms into an atmospheric Christmas market, surrounded by Franconian half-timbered houses and the historic town hall. From there, the festivities extend through the main street to the Parade Square, where traditional crafts, regional specialties, and Franconian bratwurst await visitors. The nearby Kellerwald also offers winter hiking opportunities.
Happy Holidays!
