Silent Green Winterfest
Christmas market in Berlin on 5 and 6 December 2026
Experience the start of the Advent season in the unique atmosphere of the silent green Kulturquartier. The Open House and Winter Festival offer a diverse mix of concerts, art and culinary highlights, transforming the historic site into a place for socialising and enjoyment.
A feast for all the senses
The Winter Festival at the silent green Kulturquartier presents a varied programme: visitors can stroll through a market featuring handmade and upcycled products from the region, enjoy concerts and browse the independent record label market.
Culinary & artistic diversity
The Mars Kitchen treats visitors to winter delicacies, whilst for the little ones there are craft activities and a hands-on station on the lawn where they can make their own gingerbread and bread on a stick. The Christmas market is spread across the Betonhalle and the studios. Here you’ll find beautiful and unusual items, and there are also workshops where you can make your own creations. In the Betonhalle, too, Berlin shops and designers are showcasing their gift ideas: silk designs, ceramics and porcelain, candles, prints, photographs and books, jewellery, hand-woven and handcrafted items, haoris and kimonos from Japan, potted plants, and of course – to go with the many concerts – records and music.
