The Rapperswil "Christkindlimärt" brings magical Christmas cheer to the medieval old town of Rapperswil-Jona. The market takes place from Thursday through Sunday—and this year it’s expanding to a total of 13 days. The popular “Grand Christmas Market" will now begin as early as Wednesday, December 9, 2026.

The Grand Christmas Market
With over 200 market stalls, Rapperswil’s Old Town will be transformed into an enchanting Christmas wonderland from Wednesday, December 9, through Sunday, December 13, 2026. Now spanning five days instead of the previous four, one of Switzerland’s largest Christmas markets stretches from the lakeshore along Marktgasse to the main square.
The Advent Village
On the weekends before and after the grand Christmas market (Thursday – Sunday), the "Christkindlimärt" makes a guest appearance in a somewhat smaller but no less festive framework in the area around the harbor and on Fischmarktplatz.
