The Advent Market in St. Leonhard, Grödig, nearby the city of Salzburg, is a small Christmas market. Since 1973, the St. Leonhard Advent market has offered high-quality handicrafts from Austria, Bavaria, and South Tyrol. The market features handmade gifts from school groups, women’s organisations, and disabled artisans. Products include candles, wood carvings, toys, Christmas decorations, ceramics, and textiles.

The market is known for its diverse, quality offerings without cheap or kitschy items. Over the years, it has gained many loyal visitors who appreciate the product quality and the market’s atmosphere.
Adding to the festive spirit are Advent celebrations and musical services in the St. Leonhard pilgrimage church, performed by singing and music groups from Salzburg, Carinthia, and Bavaria. The unique ambiance of the St. Leonhard Christmas market is enhanced by the enchanting sounds of tower music, a musical performance from the top of a tower.
