This small square suits anyone after Styrian crafts and a quieter drink close to the Hauptplatz. It has little room, so the huts fill quickly once the evening crowd arrives.

The market sits on the little square named after its glockenspiel, a short walk east of the Hauptplatz past the Mehlplatz. Graz Tourismus says it sticks to local crafts and Styrian customs, with Advent wreath binding you can join and a visit from the Nikolo and the Krampus.
Stalls trade 11:00 to 20:00 and the food huts run to 22:00, every day from 20 November to 24 December 2026. On 24 December both close at 14:00.
Worth knowing
- Ask at the stalls when the wreath-binding sessions run; the organizer doesn't publish a timetable.
- The Mehlplatz market is a few steps away, so treat the two as one stop.
