Christmas Markets in Mures County
Now that Halloween is behind us and the leaves have fallen, we’re already thinking about Christmas lights, festive decorations, and that magical atmosphere that only winter can bring. Little by little, we start decorating our homes, adding a personal touch to every corner, while our minds drift toward mulled wine, carols, and the smell of gingerbread. In Mures County, the holiday spirit comes to life through Christmas markets, workshops, concerts, and local events that bring the community together. Each town has its own charm during winter, and whether you’re from the area or just visiting, it’s worth stopping by at least one of them.
Once the first lights are lit and the tree is decorated, we all start craving a bit of that Christmas magic outdoors too. The sound of carols in the background, children gazing in wonder at the decorations, and the crisp air that seems to call for a warm cup of mulled wine, all come together to create the true joy of winter.
That’s what December looks like in Mures: glowing cities, lively markets, and people smiling without hurry. Let’s explore together where you can experience this fairytale atmosphere this winter.
Targu Mures Christmas Market
Targu Mures is once again getting ready to welcome the winter holidays in spectacular fashion! Theatre Square turns into a scene straight out of a Christmas movie, filled with cozy wooden stalls, colorful lights, and the inviting smell of roasted chestnuts.
The Christmas Market will open on December 5th and run until January 4th 2026. Beyond shopping, you can enjoy plenty of festive moment: live concerts, children’s shows, creative workshops, and of course, the long-awaited visit from Santa Claus himself. The square becomes a place where smiles and holiday cheer fill the air, and in the evening, under the twinkling lights, everything feels like it’s been lifted straight out of a winter fairytale.
In addition to the charming market stalls, glowing lights, and Christmas carols echoing through the city center, this year’s market comes with a few extra surprises to warm your heart and keep you there until late. An ice rink will be set up inside the Targu Mures Fortress, where you can glide on the ice, meet friends, or simply soak in the magical winter atmosphere. The rink is expected to open at the end of November, depending on weather conditions as autumn comes to a close.
Sighisoara Christmas Market
This winter, the medieval citadel of Sighisoara turns into a true winter fairytale between December 1st and January 4th 2026! The cobbled streets and centuries-old buildings transform into a magical Christmas setting, filled with the scent of gingerbread, mulled wine, and the sound of carols echoing between the ancient walls. Stalls with handmade crafts and artisanal gifts make it easy to find the perfect souvenir for your loved ones. On top of that, the market offers plenty of special moments for all ages,
from concerts and live performances to creative workshops for children and little surprises waiting around every corner.
Reghin Christmas Market
Every December, Central Park in Reghin becomes the heart of the community. Here you’ll find local artisans showcasing handmade crafts, colorful gingerbread, wooden toys and of course, the beloved mulled wine. The ice rink in the middle of the park brings families and friends together, while Christmas carols fill the air late into the night. This year, there will be two themed fairs: the Saint Nicholas Fair, taking place from December 1st to December 7th, and the Christmas Market, which will open on December 15th and run until December 31st.
This winter, Mureș County invites you to rediscover the joy of simple things: a cup of mulled wine shared with friends, a walk beneath the Christmas lights, or a quiet moment by a beautifully decorated tree. From the festive energy of Theatre square in Targu Mures to the medieval charm of Sighisoara and the authentic warmth of Reghin, every corner of the county has its own winter story to tell.
