Each of the three communities offers its own characteristic Advent market but all markets still have one goal: to authentically represent the Christmas season traditions of the Salzkammergut. There are regional delicacies, small and large handicrafts from the surrounding area and lots of Christmas atmosphere.

Attractions include life-size carved nativity scenes and animals to look at, as well as the landmarks of the Lake Wolfgang Advent. On the shore of St. Gilgen, an eleven-metre-high Advent candle illuminates the surroundings and the Strobl shore is adorned by a six-metre-high floating comet. The landmark of St. Wolfgang, a lantern of peace visible from afar, floats in front of the lights of the decorated lakeside village.

The three markets can be easily reached with the ships of Wolfgangsee Schifffahrt.
