Don Bosco Winter Magic: Pre-Christmas Market Atmosphere on Bamberger Jakobsberg
On Sunday, November 8, 2026, the Don Bosco Winter Magic invites you to Bamberger Jakobsberg from 11:00 AM to 6:30 PM. In the historic St. Josef's Home at Jakobsplatz and the nearby Comboni House on Upper Karolinenstraße, arts and crafts, culinary delights, music, and family programs come together to create a festive winter market. Admission is free.
Arts and Crafts, Market Stalls, and Regional Diversity
In historic rooms, lovingly decorated huts, and adorned stalls, artisans and market vendors showcase handmade goods. Visitors can discover unique gift ideas, decorative items, and carefully crafted products that are out of the ordinary. The special market atmosphere is created by the combination of craftsmanship, personal encounters, and the historical environment of the Don Bosco Youth Work.
Music, Reflective Moments, and Lived Community
The chapel of the Josef's Home provides space for reflective texts and music. On Sunday, the second day of the event begins there at 10:30 AM with a family service. Afterwards, the winter market opens its doors and invites market-goers, families, and all generations to experience it together.
Circus Giovanni Brings Movement to the Market
A highlight for children and adults is Circus Giovanni. Young and old can get a taste of circus life and try their hand at different circus disciplines as performers. The interactive activities complement the market program with a lively shopping experience featuring movement, play, and much curiosity.
Warm Dishes and Family-Friendly Prices
The in-house kitchen of Don Bosco Youth Work ensures the culinary well-being. Warm meals, drinks, and sweet treats create an inviting winter atmosphere. Young people from the Don Bosco Youth Work actively support the event, making the winter magic a celebration of encounters and social togetherness.
