Petržalka Christmas Markets

One of the most wonderful times of the year is here! A time when humanity, emotion and kindness are a little closer to us again and we are even more aware of the preciousness of interpersonal relationships.

Christmas Petržalka starts on Friday 27 November and runs until Saturday 20 December 2026. For almost four weeks you can look forward to a varied programme for the less and more demanding, as well as a number of side events and charity events.

From November 27 to December 20, Republic Square will be transformed into a magical place filled with scents, lights, music, and joy. Christmas in Petržalka 2026 will feature a rich program full of singing, dancing, and interesting performances, including the grand opening of the Christmas markets and the Mayor’s Punch.

What can you look forward to?

Liquid and solid treats and gifts

An extensive musical program

St. Nicholas with sweet gifts, and a St. Nicholas ride through Petržalka

A puppet show for children
