Easter Market / Ostermarkt Bruneck

The Easter Market in the center of Bruneck

Every spring, in the days before Easter, the historic center of Bruneck (in German Bruneck), the main town of the Puster Valley and gateway to the Plan de Corones ski area, hosts the traditional Easter Market (in German Ostermarkt). The event takes place in the central Town Hall Square (Rathausplatz), just a stone's throw from the arcaded street, bringing a festive and colorful atmosphere to the town of Bruneck that heralds the arrival of the new season.

Craftsmanship and handmade creations

The market brings together numerous exhibitors, including artisans, hobbyists, and local producers, with a special focus on creativity and handmade work. Under the banner of "Creativity and Craftsmanship," the stalls offer a rich assortment of items and decorations:

• Easter decorations and spring-themed arrangements
• Ceramics, glassware, and wood carvings
• Jewelry, crochet and felt work, painted stones
• Gift ideas and small Easter surprises

Flavors of South Tyrol

Alongside the crafts, there is no shortage of homemade gastronomic delicacies and typical South Tyrolean products. Visitors can purchase bread and sweets, mountain cheeses, speck, and cured meats, as well as honey, jams, herbal teas, and aromatic herbs, on a culinary journey that tells the story of the farming tradition of the Puster Valley and South Tyrol. Some stalls are managed by local volunteer associations, such as the South Tyrolean Cancer Aid (Südtiroler Krebshilfe), offering handcrafted items for charity.

An event for the whole family

Open from morning to evening, with continuous hours from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, the Bruneck Easter Market is a pleasant outing for both adults and children. The intimate setting of the Town Hall Square, framed by the colorful facades of the historic center and the surrounding mountains, makes a visit the perfect opportunity to soak up the South Tyrolean Easter atmosphere, find unique gifts, and enjoy a delicious break among the town's streets.

In the heart of the Puster Valley

Located in the Autonomous Province of Bolzano, in Trentino-South Tyrol, the Bruneck Easter Market is part of the spring calendar of the Plan de Corones area, amidst religious traditions, hiking, and the first sunny days at altitude. It is a chance to discover one of the most characteristic towns in South Tyrol, with its castle and arcades, and to experience Easter within the bilingual culture of South Tyrol.
