- Weihnachtsmarkt Liestal
The market closes at 20:00 on three of its four days – but food and drinks run an hour longer. On Sunday that extra hour disappears: everything closes together at 18:00.
Good to know- The organiser publishes no street address, only «Stedtli», the old-town core. No street name appears here for that reason: it would be invented.

🕐 2 opening hours closure days included
A market running «28 November to 24 December» still has days when nothing happens — and at the weekend it often stays open two hours longer. That is exactly what stands here, in the organiser's own words.
Start: 12:00–20:00
Thu–Sat 11:00–20:00 (food and drinks until 21:00) · Sun 11:00–18:00 (food and drinks until 18:00)

📍 Location and access of the markets
Two markets in the same town rarely stand in the same place, and «old town» is not a route. Hence every published location separately — the square, the station, the lane.

🎒 Entry and weather — what the organiser announces
Is there an entry fee, is there a programme, and what happens in a storm? These are the details an aggregator drops because they differ from market to market — which is exactly why they stand here.
