Advent Village in Olten

From November 28 to December 20, 2026, the sixth edition of the Olten Advent Village will take place in downtown Olten, illuminated by magnificent Christmas lights. It’s a combination of a Christmas market and the magic of Advent.

Over the course of 23 days, the event attracts more than 220,000 visitors and offers everything your heart desires. In addition to an event area featuring an exciting program of events and various activities organized by regional organizations, groups, and clubs, the Advent Village is home to over 66 small, lovingly decorated chalets, each hosting different vendors daily and weekly offering a selection of pre-Christmas goods.

Flying Santa zooms down Kirchgasse into the Advent Village every day, while guests enjoy a wide selection of food and drinks in the two chalets “Aaria Stadl” and “Das Alpenland,” at the mulled wine pyramid, the three lounges, and numerous stalls. Children take rides on the Christmas carousel, zoom down the 107-meter-long toboggan run, or glide across an artificial ice rink on their skates. From the Wish Forest to the Santa Bar to candle-making: the Advent Village offers a jam-packed Christmas experience full of attractions.
