Franziskanerplatz, 6003 Luzern
The Lozärner Wiehnachtsmärt attracts visitors with a sky of shining poinsettias, the scents of gingerbread, spices, punch and mulled wine, as well as a large supporting program.
For the sixteenth time, the Lucerne Autumn Fair and Markets IG is organizing the "Lozärner Wiehnachtsmärt" on Franziskanerplatz from 5 to 22 December 2024.
In the heart of the historic old town, around the Franciscan church, the Christmas market spreads a contemplative atmosphere. Around 70 market stalls offer a wide range of special gift items. The aroma of punch, mulled wine, Nidlezältli, fresh bread from the wood-fired oven and other delicacies underlines the Christmassy atmosphere. The new mulled wine cup is sure to become a coveted collector's item again this year. The new lighting invites you to linger around the beautiful Franciscan church.
At the heart of the Christmas market and as a fitting symbol, the largest Advent wreath in Central Switzerland, measuring more than three meters in diameter and decorated with hundreds of lights and baubles as well as four meter-high candles, shines on the Franciscan fountain.
On the large stage in front of the fountain, brass bands and choirs perform almost daily, mostly with local musicians, whose sounds provide a festive backdrop to the events on the square.
The parish of St. Maria zu Franziskanern invites you to a whole range of Advent events in the beautiful, historic Franciscan church during the market, from the daily Eucharistic celebration to the special concert by three yodeling clubs on 15 December and the Byzantine service on the evening of 15 December 2024.
Medieval church
The Franciscan church was built in 1270 as a monastery church of the Franciscan order in the Gothic style. In the 17th and 18th centuries, it was given its current Baroque interior and an extension with two chapels. It has been a parish church since 1895.
All in all, the "Lozärner Wiehnachtsmärt" on Franziskanerplatz offers young and old alike an unforgettable pre-Christmas experience that should not be missed.
