Shooting Star Market | Nov. 25–Dec. 23, 2025
Wiesbaden’s Sternschnuppenmarkt has plenty to do and see. Visitors can explore market stalls and gaze at 21 large, illuminated lilies and dozens of smaller lilies, snowflakes and stars which create a magical atmosphere along the streets of Wiesbaden.
The Kindersternschnuppenmarkt, or the children’s market, on Luisenplatz offers special activities for kids such as crafts, Christmas stories and the Shooting Star Express. Visitors can enjoy a stroll through Gnome Forest with characters and fir trees illuminated in a fairy-tale atmosphere.
There is an ice rink where you can skate or practice curling and after all the fun, you can try Kaiserschmarrn, sweet bits of fluffy pancake served with apple or cranberry sauce. If you’d like to warm up, head to the foyer of the Kurhaus where over 2,000 red poinsettias make up a special Christmas tree that lights up.
