Christmas Activities

Advent in Graz is much more than just markets: concerts, ice nativity scenes, Cirque Noël, nativity scene exhibitions at Stift Rein, and more create a festive variety—an invitation to discover the winter wonderland in the city and countryside.

In Graz, Advent begins not only with sparkling lights and festive markets, but also with a multifaceted program of culture, traditions, and extraordinary experiences. Alongside the Advent markets, atmospheric concerts, the magical Graz Winter World, and the modern Christmas circus Cirque Noël at the Orpheum create a truly festive atmosphere. Beyond the city, highlights such as the nativity scene exhibition at Rein Abbey and the luminous art of Lumagica invite visitors to enjoy special moments. Whether classic, surprising, or contemplative—in the Graz holiday region, Advent is a time of joy!

„Did you know that this year at Lumagica, it’s all about the magic of colors?“
