Bulgaria Christmas Market Opening Dates 2022

Bulgaria Christmas Market

It may surprise some people that Christmas isn’t observed on January 7, which is Orthodox Christmas Day, given that Bulgaria is an Orthodox Christian nation that observes Easter on the Orthodox dates. Until the Communist government decreed that Christmas should be observed on December 25 in the 1960s, this was indeed the case.

Christmas was kept in December even after the Communist regime fell in the early 1990s. Not only Bulgaria, but also Romania, Greece, and Cyprus changed their national holidays to December 25 in the 1920s.

When do Christmas markets open in Bulgaria this year?

Although Bulgaria doesn’t have as strong a tradition of Christmas markets as central European nations like Germany, Switzerland, France, or Austria, this is starting to change as more and more cities organise Christmas and New Year bazaars over the holiday season.
