The Advent Market in Leonhardtstraße is a neighbourhood arts and crafts market held in Charlottenburg, Berlin, on a cobblestone street lined with large linden trees and strung with fairy lights. Organised by Family & Friends e.V., it has a cosy, village-like atmosphere that sets it apart from larger, more commercial Christmas markets. The market emphasises direct exchange between visitors and around 80 local Berlin artisans, prioritising quality craftsmanship in a relaxed, non-touristy setting. The street lies centrally between the Amtsgericht and Stuttgarter Platz. Visitors can browse handmade jewellery, ceramics, textiles, wood-turned objects, leather goods, felt bags, hand-painted ornaments, watercolour prints, knitted accessories, and more. Food and drink highlights include artisan mulled wine, handmade pastries, Spätzle, Alfajores, sausages, regional spirits, and wines from named German estates. A live music stage programme rounds out the experience. The market also typically takes place on an open Sunday (verkaufsoffener Sonntag). It is well served by public transport, with S-Bahn at S Charlottenburg/Gervinusstraße, U-Bahn lines U2 and U7, and numerous bus routes.
