Kreativmarktl Algund – Christmas Edition

A creative Advent market in Lagundo

The Kreativmarktl Algund – Christmas Edition is the winter version of the creative market held at the Thalguterhaus, the cultural center of Lagundo, a town in the Merano area near Bolzano, in the Trentino-Alto Adige region. During the Advent weekends, the foyer and the Bürgersaal (civic hall) of the venue are filled with carefully curated stalls, where around thirty exhibitors showcase their artisanal creations. It is an event designed for those who appreciate unique, handmade pieces, away from the hustle and bustle of mass-market fairs.

What you will find at the stalls

The hallmark of the Kreativmarktl is authentic craftsmanship and variety. At the stalls, you will find items handmade by local artisans and creatives:

• Candles, jewelry, and wall clocks
• Bags, wallets, and greeting cards
• Ceramics and porcelain items
• Textiles, crochet, and knitwear
• Decorative items in glass, wood, paper, felt, and concrete
• Christmas baubles and decorations, arrangements with natural materials
• Original gift ideas for yourself or others

The setting: the Thalguterhaus

The Peter Thalguter Cultural Center, located in Hans-Gamper-Platz in Lagundo, is the hub of the town's social and cultural life. Hosting the market indoors, between the foyer and the civic hall, ensures a cozy and sheltered environment even on the coldest Advent days—a significant advantage over the open-air markets in the area.
