Traditional, innovative, multifaceted, and always new—this is how the Karlsruhe Christmas Fair will present itself again in Advent 2025. At the end of the year, 40 artists will showcase high-quality, handmade unique pieces and small series. Ceramics, jewelry, textiles, beautiful items made of wood, paper, and leather. Anyone looking for unique gifts for their loved ones or themselves will find what they are looking for at the four-day fair in the heart of Karlsruhe.

Delicate porcelain, characterful raku, or robust stoneware bring joy every day. Visitors will find both precious jewelry and original works made of plastic, glass, bronze, paper, and designed from found objects. In the large textile area, hats, individual fashion items, and bags can be tried on and purchased. An exciting journey of discovery awaits visitors—and there is a café area for breaks. Admission is €3.
