LET'S GET TOGETHER TO CELEBRATE CULTURE AND CREATIVITY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
at the Winter Market ✨
Discover gifts that tell a story! Our market is filled with passionate local makers and entrepreneurs offering one-of-a-kind creations, from handmade jewelry and art to eco-friendly products. Every item is crafted with care and love – an ideal way to support local talent and find something special for everyone on your list.
Meet the cultural organizations and communities that shape our city and get to know the amazing variety of programs and events available right here in the region. Whether you’re a longtime local or new to the area, time to connect with what makes Brabant’s cultural scene so vibrant and unique.
Indulge in a world of flavors with food stalls offering global bites, from savory to sweet, as well as winter classics like hot chocolate and glühwein from Muziekgebouw. It’s the perfect way to keep cozy as you explore all the market has to offer.
Let your creativity shine in one of our free workshops, open to both adults and kids! Whether you want to try your hand at crafting, make your own gifts, or just learn something new, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. It’s a hands-on way to get into the holiday spirit!
Get ready to be swept up in the magic of live performances throughout the Winter Market! Enjoy the beautiful sounds of the violin, the soulful harmony of a local choir, uplifting songs from talented singers, and the energy of dancers lighting up the stage. Each performance brings out the heart and diversity of our community!
It’s more than just shopping – we’ve got fun and games for everyone! Try your luck in exciting contests with great prizes up for grabs, and enjoy some lighthearted fun with Amorosas and De Liefdesdokters, who will be spreading laughter, compliments, cheer, and a little “love medicine” to make sure everyone leaves with a smile.
This year’s Winter Market will be promoted on LED screens along the main entry roads into Eindhoven! Whether you’re entering the city by car, bike, or foot, you won't miss our vibrant displays inviting everyone to join the festivities. This citywide visibility is a fantastic opportunity to spread the word about the Winter Market!
We’re thrilled to welcome De Liefdesdokter to this year’s Winter Market! Stop by their warm “love practice” for a dose of joy with activities like Contact Bingo for Courageous Hearts or a 7-minute “heart-to-heart” with LoveDoctor Inge. Leave with a smile, feeling lighter and uplifted!
We are excited to announce that Jasmijn, winner of "The Sound of Eindhoven" contest, will be performing at our Winter Market in Eindhoven. Known for her captivating live shows, Jasmijn creates a dreamy yet powerful sound with self-produced beats and meaningful lyrics. Don’t miss the chance to experience her award-winning talent live at the market!
Expat Kids in Eindhoven has prepared a wonderful activity for the families attending the winter market. Families can enjoy the market and win prizes.
All the activities at the winter market are free.
The Cultural and Creative Winter Market is about so much more than shopping – it’s about celebrating the creativity, cultures, and connections that make Brabant a wonderful place to call home. Organized by International Creative Women and Holland Expat Center, this event is a warm invitation to discover the incredible talent around us, meet the people behind it, and leave with not just holiday gifts but a deeper connection to our community.
