The main event takes place annually with around 50 stalls on the Fürther Freiheit . The Medieval Christmas Market for Fürther Freiheit has been taking place on the southern part since 2010 with its own stage program, jugglers and walk acts. In addition to the focus on artisanal goods, artisanal gifts can also be made by yourself. Rides are aimed at the target group of children. a. designed with choirs and music groups. Although the Fürth Christmas events are overshadowed by the larger imperial city of Nuremberg, the Fürth market has developed into a "stately Christmas village". Due to its historical backdrop, the Christmas market was voted the most popular Christmas market in Bavaria for 2018 (and seventh among 80 Christmas markets in Germany) in the test reports.de portal before Nuremberg.

The Christmas market is opened by the “Fürther Christkind”, which is elected every two years. There are around 100 events per season, in addition to the Christmas market, mainly for old people's homes and kindergartens . In 2018 and 2019 the Christ child is called Nicole Jucha, she replaced her predecessor Maria Vogel.

The Christmas market will continue to be supplemented by the “Altstadtweihnacht” Advent market on Waagplatz. It is older than the two markets on Freedom and has been around since the 1980s. The market is organized by a small event team from the Fürth Old Town Association. The focus is on products from historical craft trades, such as B. candle makers, glass and blacksmith artists, woodworkers, dressmakers, potters and leather workers. While the old town Christmas takes place for 10 days at the beginning of December, the main event covers almost the entire Advent season.
