The Katowice Christmas market stretches along the Market Square, between the Skarbek building and the Silesian Theatre, and runs from the second half of November until early January — in the 2025/2026 season from 21 November to 6 January. Entry is free.
The biggest draw for families is the Ferris wheel with a diameter of 33 metres, together with the 12-metre Silesian Wheel and a Victorian carousel. The season also includes an ice rink of 20 by 20 metres, open until February, plus a nativity scene, Santa's Stable and the Bear Family. Craft and food stalls open at 10:00 and close at 20:00 on weekdays and 21:00 at weekends, with the food zone staying open an hour longer.
You can budget for the treats in advance: in the 2025 season mulled wine cost from PLN 20, tea and hot chocolate PLN 15 each, and a souvenir fair mug PLN 25.
The easiest way is to come by public transport to the stops around the Market Square — city centres get crowded in the evenings, especially at weekends. Check the ice rink separately, as it stays open longer than the stalls.
