Celebrate the Barbara Day in the Graz Experience Region with the traditional distribution of Barbara branches at the Glockenspielplatz.
On December 4, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, the Advent market at Glockenspielplatz in Graz invites you to celebrate Saint Barbara's Day. In the heart of Styria, the charming tradition of distributing Barbara branches will be maintained on this day. Visitors will receive cherry branches that, according to old custom, are cut on December 4 and placed in water. If they bloom by Christmas, it is considered a good omen for the coming year. The Advent market at Glockenspielplatz enchants with local handicrafts and Styrian customs. Enjoy the festive atmosphere and let the traditional sounds of the carillon, which rings several times a day, put you in the Christmas spirit. A visit to this special event offers the opportunity to experience Styrian traditions up close and enjoy the pre-Christmas season in Graz in a unique way.
