Epiphany market in Villach: Tradition meets diversity on January 13th!

Villach, Österreich - The Epiphany Market in Villach, a traditional event with a story that goes back to 1432, takes place again. On Monday, January 13, 2025, the entire market zone-from the city bridge to the Alpen-Adria bridge and along other central streets-transformed into a vibrant shopping paradise. The wide range includes everything from textiles, shoes and kitchen utensils to rural enjoyment products and wicker goods that come from regional providers. As meindezirk.at , the market will be open from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Market officer City Councilor Christian Pober (ÖVP) announced that 120 Fierants have promised their coming, including standers from Germany, Italy and Slovenia. The event has a high symbolic power: it is said that successful shops on the Epiphany market also bring positive signs for the remaining annual markets. In order to ensure the smooth process, various traffic regulations and passage barriers are planned between 5 a.m. and 9 p.m. in order to cope with the number of visitors. Already on January 12th will be expected to be banned from 6 p.m.

The Epiphany Market is not only an opportunity to shop, but also a lively meeting point for the community, where tradition and regional craft are celebrated. Visitors can look forward to an attractive experience that ends the holidays properly.
