Martiner Sternstundn (Advent and Christmas Market of San Martino in Passiria)

The Martiner Sternstundn 2025/2026 animated the center of San Martino in Passiria (St. Martin in Passeier), in the Passeier Valley, from November 29, 2025, to January 4, 2026. The opening on Saturday, November 29, on the Dorfplatz was entrusted to the musical group ELFS, followed by the blessing of the Advent wreaths and traditional carols.

The Christmas market opened its stalls during the Advent weekends — specifically December 13-14 and 20-21 — on the village square, featuring crafts, specialties, and hot drinks. The program included the nativity exhibition, the parade of St. Nicholas and the angels (December 6), puppet theater (December 8), readings, a felt workshop for children, and Advent concerts by local choirs. The event concluded on January 4 with the characteristic Christmas tree throwing competition (Christbaumweitwurf).
