Fair

2024 edition

The Christmas Fair in Sibiu has become a not-to-be-missed event every year, and the 2024 edition, entitled “Christmas Unboxed”, is shaping up to be an impressive one, full of surprises. Running from November 15 to January 5, 2025, the fair will once again transform Sibiu into the “Romanian Christmas Capital”, attracting visitors from all over the country and abroad.

This year’s edition comes with a new and exciting formula, extending the experiences to more venues across the city. In the Large Square, under a canopy of tens of thousands of lights, visitors will be able to relax on a dedicated terrace and enjoy hot dishes. Highlights include the 22-meter panoramic Ferris wheel and the 600-square-meter natural ice rink, which can accommodate up to 300 people at once. Also in the same square will be Santa’s Workshop, where children will be able to take part in fun and educational activities such as mosaic and paper-making workshops, which bring joy to thousands of children every year.

The Little Square will host “Santa’s Land”, a place dedicated to children, with a merry-go-round, a train and Santa’s virtual sleigh. Spectacular projections on the facades of the buildings in the Little Square, spreading the magic of the holidays over thousands of square meters, will add an extra sparkle. In Huet Square, visitors can enjoy a walk under an impressive installation of illuminated trees.

This year’s fair will bring 120 exhibitors from 36 Romanian counties, as well as international artisans from Israel, Hungary and Italy. The products on offer, from handcrafted decorations and unique gifts to culinary delights and hot drinks, are sure to please every visitor.

Not only the festive atmosphere, but also the special events and children’s activities will make the Sibiu Christmas Fair an ideal place to spend your free time during the winter holidays. Expectations are high for this edition, given the success of previous editions, and organizers are expecting over 300,000 visitors.

We invite you to discover the magic of Christmas at the Sibiu Christmas Fair – an unforgettable experience!
