The Program Highlights at the Winter Market at the Vienna Giant Ferris Wheel Square 2025

Until January 6, the largest winter market in the country, spanning more than 15,000m², presents itself as a meeting point for the whole family with a mix of live concerts, the city's largest street food offerings, the popular Prater attractions, and numerous gift stalls.

Even in its 16th season, the motto remains: "The Prater rocks." Live concerts take place on the Winter Market stage every Wednesday to Sunday with free admission and no obligation to consume. 35 bands from gospel to pop and soul ensure a lively atmosphere.

Winter Market Village and Perchtenlauf on November 30 in Vienna

In addition to the atmospheric Winter Market Village with the atmospheric Winter Rondel, guests can expect decorated souvenir and gift shops as well as 31 food stands, and the Luftburg will once again become the "Winterburg." You can find everything from organic snacks to free Luftburg jumping, an outdoor playground, bocce courts, and a cool Christmas tree party with a DJ.

Spooky and devilish is the theme on November 30 at 5:00 PM during the annual family-friendly Perchtenlauf. According to old tradition, these frightening masks and devilish costumes, along with loud bell ringing, drive away the evil spirits of winter. 200 "Kramperln" parade over the Giant Ferris Wheel Square.

Prater Fun in Vienna Even in Winter

In addition to these offerings, the classic Prater fun in Vienna is, of course, not neglected. Whether it's adventure rides with the winter train, high-flying with the chain carousel, excitement in the bumper cars, meeting stars at Madame Tussauds Vienna, spinning around with the Dizzy Mouse, being enchanted in the Magic World Vienna, or a romantic ride on the Vienna Giant Ferris Wheel - the Winter Market offers family entertainment for young and old.
