About the event
Betlejem Poznańskie 2026 (Poznań Bethlehem) is Poznań's Christmas season in three zones. The market on Plac Wolności (Freedom Square) opens on 20 November 2026, and an open-air ice rink is set up on the Old Market Square (Stary Rynek). Both zones are open until 6 January 2027. The organiser is the City of Poznań; the Plac Wolności zone is run by Becker Eventservice.
Plac Wolności has an exhibitor zone and Christmas attractions. In mid-December the Old Market Square hosts the 20th POZnań Ice Festival – ice sculpture competitions and ice workshops for children (programme alongside).
The third zone – the market at the Poznań International Fair grounds (Międzynarodowe Targi Poznańskie) – is open from 14 November to 20 December.
The organiser has not yet announced the opening hours or the ice rink prices.
