Bad Salzufler Weihnachtstraum, Christmas market in Bad Salzuflen, Germany.

Bad Salzufler Weihnachtstraum is a Christmas market held over the four Advent weeks from late November to late December. It runs from the Schliepsteiner Tor, where the Feuerzangenbowle hut ensemble and some rides stand, along the pedestrian Lange Straße with its side streets, and ends at the Salzhof, the market's central square.

The Bad Salzufler Weihnachtstraum was first staged in 2005 by the Bad Salzufler Werbegemeinschaft, a traders' association founded in 1975, growing out of its founding aims of Christmas lighting and events for local merchants. In 2010 the market recorded 100,000 visitors. In 2011 glassblowers from the Deutsches Museum in Munich demonstrated glassblowing publicly here for the first time, and on 2 December 2012 WDR broadcast the show Eine schöne Bescherung live from the market between 17:00 and 17:45.

Local choirs and national performers give concerts on the central stage, while craftspeople demonstrate traditional skills like wood carving and glass blowing. Visitors can watch these traditional techniques being practiced as they walk through the market.

The market runs continuously through all four Advent weeks, from late November to the end of December. It stretches from the Schliepsteiner Tor through the Lange Straße pedestrian zone and its side streets to the Salzhof, which forms the central square. Many people from Ostwestfalen-Lippe make a tradition of visiting on 26 December.

A 12 meter tall Christmas pyramid with hand-carved figures from the Ore Mountains rotates at Salzhof square. This pyramid is the tallest of its kind in the region and draws attention with its handcrafted details.
