The summer festival season comes to an end with the Klößmarkt (dumplings market). Coburg’s unique ‘Rutscher’ dumplings can be enjoyed at the market square as an accompaniment to roasts of all kinds, including vegetarian options. This year the event will take place from August 30th to September 1st.

During Advent, Coburg’s historic market square at the heart of the picturesque town becomes a Christmassy little world, which is officially opened by the Christ Child. Starting on the Friday before the first Sunday of Advent until 23rd December, the Christmas Market radiates with colourful lights. Strolling through the market with its prettily decorated stalls, there is a feeling of pre-Christmas excitement. Stalls for food and drink ensure culinary well-being. There is also a carousel for children, a pleasant touch of nostalgia next to the glistening lights of the Christmas tree. To enhance the atmosphere further, a number of artists, choirs and bands perform Christmas carols throughout the market. Coburg’s Christmas Market is open from 29th November to 23rd December 2024.

The studio stage of the state theatre captivates with its atmosphere and entertaining shows. There is virtually no separation between the audience and stage, allowing easy interaction between both and providing scope for various open forms of theatre.
