The first verified Christmas market in the canton of Thurgau opens on Saturday, 28 November 2026.

🕐 3 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.

🏘️ 3 municipalities with organiser and run

No two of the 3 municipalities in the canton of Thurgau share the same run — each keeps its own calendar. For 2 of them we keep a page of their own: stall count, closure days and what the organiser actually published.

• Arbon — Arboner Christkindlimarkt, Stadt Arbon, 28 November 2026.
• Weinfelden — Adventsmarkt Weinfelden, Gewerbeverein Weinfelden und Umgebung, 12 December 2026.
• Frauenfeld — Weihnachtsmarkt Frauenfeld, Weihnachtsmarkt Frauenfeld, 18 December 2026.

📍 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.
