📋 Good to know before you go

✨ Highlights on site
What sets this market apart from every other one is not in its run dates.
The information is not on a market page but on the community centre's candle-dipping page: on 28 and 29 November the candle-dipping stays closed – instead, candles can be dipped at the Wollishofen Christmas market. That is what sets this market apart: wax and wick move to the market for a weekend.
In Advent, Wollishofen is a neighbourhood with its own calendar. The candle-dipping runs for three weeks at St. Franziskus church, the neighbourhood's Räbeliechtli procession is already in early November. The Christmas market adds a weekend in between.

The ConvivaPlus verdict
Wollishofen is a neighbourhood market with one thing the big markets lack: that weekend you can dip your own candles there.
If you want a market with fixed hours and plenty of choice, go into town, for example to the Europaallee. If you live in Wollishofen, wait for the place and time – the weekend is set.

The evidence comes from the candle-dipping: not a market poster, but the GZ gives away the date – because that weekend it moves its candle-dipping station to the market.
