Our beautiful city center is transformed into a winter wonderland. Hilden also has a lot to offer in the run-up to Christmas. From the winter village to the Christmas market, you will gradually find all the information you need about the Christmas season here.
When Hilden sparkles with festive lights, it’s time for the Hilden Winter Village! From November 20 through December 23, the Old Market Square in front of the Reformation Church transforms into an atmospheric gathering place with festive lights, lovingly decorated huts, culinary treats, mulled wine, punch, and a varied program of events.
With live music, Christmas activities, and special moments for the whole family, a large Christmas tree with thousands of lights, and the illuminated old oak tree, the atmosphere right in the heart of downtown is truly special.

A Celebration for the Whole City
From November 27 to 29, Hilden’s pedestrian zone will be transformed into a festively decorated Christmas paradise. Amid twinkling lights, the scent of pine, and festive music, the Advent season begins here—just the way we love it in Hilden.
As in previous years, the Hilden Christmas market invites you to stroll, marvel and enjoy on the first weekend of Advent. Numerous Hilden associations put their heart and soul into their stalls, giving the market its special, family character. The offer is complemented by commercial exhibitors who provide additional variety and enrich the atmosphere.
Whether handmade jewelry, cozy hats and scarves, lovingly designed toys or Christmas decorations - there is something to suit every gift and every taste. There are also fragrant treats, hot drinks and a cozy atmosphere in the midst of the festively illuminated city center.
The Christmas market is organized by the City of Hilden's marketing department.
