Québec City German Christmas MarketDates and visitor information
November 19–December 23, 2026, on the listed days
Québec City’s German Christmas Market brings exhibitors and German specialties to several Old Québec sites shown on the edition’s map. Those locations give you options for exploring; the opening calendar helps you choose when to go.
The November 19–December 23 season has specific opening days. The market first runs Thursday through Sunday, then adds December 21, 22 and 23. That pattern matters if you are planning a weekday visit.
An evening visit or a shorter Sunday?
Thursday through Saturday hours are 11 a.m.–9 p.m. Sundays usually close at 6 p.m., so your choice of day affects how late you can stay. Sunday, December 20 is the exception, with a 9 p.m. closing time.
The final week follows its own schedule: December 21 and 22 run 11 a.m.–9 p.m., and December 23 runs 11 a.m.–8 p.m. The calendar lists December 24–26 as closed. Choose a specific open date when arranging a gathering before Christmas.
Use the map to choose a meeting place
With several sites in Old Québec, the market map helps you choose a precise meeting point. Begin at that site, then decide whether to continue to the other locations.
Start with one market site
Choose a day that fits your preferred return time and use the map to set a first meeting point. Explore that site before deciding whether to continue, letting the exhibitors that interest you shape the visit.
Questions before you go
Can we visit on a Monday before the final week?
