Stalls will actually open in trial mode as early as 25 November, and some will stay open until the day after Christmas. The main venue is <strong>Freedom Square (n\u00e1m\u011bst\u00ed Svobody)<\/strong> with 54 stalls and the popular Winter Bar. On Dominican Square you&#8217;ll find 10 stalls and a magnificent handmade wooden nativity scene by Halouzka. For great food, head to the 9 food stalls in the courtyard of the Old Town Hall. The Vegetable Market (Zeln\u00fd trh) traditionally offers over 100 craft stalls, and Moravian Square has an observation wheel and ice rink waiting for you. The festive <strong>Christmas tree lighting<\/strong> takes place on Friday, 27 November 2026 at 5:00 pm on Freedom Square.<\/div>\n<!-- \/lk-tldr -->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brno has a truly unique atmosphere during Advent. The smell of hot mulled wine fills the air, lights decorate the streets, and the whole city centre turns into one big meeting place. In my opinion, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/brno-czech-republic\/\">Christmas markets in Brno, Czech Republic<\/a><\/strong> get more beautiful every year, and they&#8217;re absolutely worth a visit no matter where you&#8217;re travelling from. I&#8217;ve put together a clear guide so you&#8217;ll know exactly what to see in this Moravian metropolis during winter, what the opening hours are, and what you definitely shouldn&#8217;t miss at this year&#8217;s 2026 markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6af7fcfaed699&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6af7fcfaed699\"

The <strong>popular ice rink<\/strong> is also back, set up in the park area where the summer water feature usually sits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"V\u00e1no\u010dn\u00ed trhy moravsk\u00e9 n\u00e1m\u011bst\u00ed a Adventn\u00ed kolo 2018 Brno\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OcZASctff00?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<!-- LKM_GYG_CARD start q=\"brno\" lang=\"en\" --><!-- LKM_GYG_CARD end -->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"czech-christmas-traditions\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Czech_Christmas_Traditions_and_Brnos_Claim_to_Fame\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"czech-christmas-traditions\"><\/span>Czech Christmas Traditions and Brno&#8217;s Claim to Fame<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you head to the markets with friends from abroad, they might ask you about local traditions. Let&#8217;s take a look at the most well-known Czech Christmas customs, plus one fascinating story tied directly to Brno.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"first-public-tree\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Story_of_the_First_Public_Christmas_Tree\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"first-public-tree\"><\/span>The Story of the First Public Christmas Tree<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did you know that the <strong>first public Christmas tree in Czechoslovakia<\/strong> was lit on 13 December 1924, right here on Brno&#8217;s Freedom Square? The idea came from the writer <strong>Rudolf T\u011bsnohl\u00eddek<\/strong>. In 1919, he had found an abandoned, frozen little girl in the woods near B\u00edlovice nad Svitavou, an experience that deeply affected him. He was later inspired by a visit to Copenhagen and organised a fundraising collection under the lit tree. The proceeds went on to fund the construction of the Dagmar children&#8217;s home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"who-brings-the-gifts\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Brings_the_Gifts\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"who-brings-the-gifts\"><\/span>Who Brings the Gifts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Czech Republic, gifts aren&#8217;t brought by Santa Claus but by <strong>Je\u017e\u00ed\u0161ek<\/strong> (Baby Jesus), who arrives on the evening of 24 December after the festive dinner. Interestingly, no one really knows what he looks like, so he&#8217;s never depicted as a specific figure in Czech households. The holiday season is signalled on 5 December, when <strong>St. Nicholas, accompanied by an angel and a devil<\/strong>, walks the streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> Another small custom is the so-called <strong>Barborky<\/strong>. On the feast of St. Barbara (4 December), people cut cherry tree twigs and put them in a vase. If they blossom by Christmas, it&#8217;s said to bring good luck to the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"christmas-eve-dinner\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Traditional_Christmas_Eve_Dinner_and_Fortune-Telling\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"christmas-eve-dinner\"><\/span>Traditional Christmas Eve Dinner and Fortune-Telling<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Christmas Eve, many households keep a fast, since according to legend, whoever manages not to eat until evening will see a <strong>golden piglet<\/strong>. The classic festive dinner consists of fish soup and fried carp with potato salad. That&#8217;s why around 20 December you&#8217;ll commonly see <strong>vats full of live carp<\/strong> on the streets, which can be quite a surprising sight for foreigners \ud83d\ude05.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another essential part of Czech Christmas is the <strong>cukrov\u00ed<\/strong> (Christmas cookies), which are baked from the start of Advent. No table is complete without vanilla crescent cookies, lineck\u00e9 (jam-filled shortbread), or vos\u00ed hn\u00edzda (&#8220;wasp nests&#8221;). On Christmas Eve morning, a sweet braided bread called <strong>v\u00e1no\u010dka<\/strong> is often sliced up for breakfast. After dinner, families enjoy small fortune-telling traditions. In the past, people poured molten lead; today, due to toxicity, <strong>wax or tin<\/strong> is used instead. People also cut apples in half (a star shape means health) or float little walnut-shell boats on water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"more-advent-tips\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Next_More_Advent_Tips\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"more-advent-tips\"><\/span>Where to Next: More Advent Tips<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the Christmas markets have caught your interest, check out these articles too:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/christmas-markets-moravia\/\">Moravian Christmas markets: 13 prettiest spots<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/christmas-markets-prague\/\">Christmas Markets in Prague: Dates and Programme<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/ostrava-christmas-markets\/\">Christmas Markets in Ostrava<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/christmas-markets-uherske-hradiste\/\">Christmas Markets in Uhersk\u00e9 Hradi\u0161t\u011b<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/best-christmas-markets-czech-republic\/\">Best Christmas Markets in the Czech Republic<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/vienna-austria-christmas-markets\/\">Christmas Markets in Vienna<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faq\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"faq\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787919126000\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_do_the_Christmas_markets_in_Brno_start_in_2026\"><\/span>When do the Christmas markets in Brno start in 2026?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The official dates for Brno&#8217;s Christmas markets are from November 27 to December 23, 2026.
