Organized by Holland Expat Center South and The International Entrepreneurs Collective (TIEC), in collaboration with Muziekgebouw Eindhoven, this annual event brings together residents from diverse backgrounds to connect, exchange, and celebrate the winter season.
The winter market facilitates intercultural exchange in an accessible, festive setting, provides opportunities for local creatives and small businesses to showcase their work, and offers visibility for regional cultural organizations and international community initiatives.

By creating a warm and festive space where internationals and locals meet, Winter Market Eindhoven fosters meaningful interaction between communities, highlights Eindhoven’s cultural diversity, and supports small-scale entrepreneurship. It is more than a seasonal event – it is a community-building initiative that strengthens social ties and celebrates the diverse identities of our region. This initiative supports the goals of inclusive living and active citizenship, contributing to a welcoming environment for all who call Eindhoven home.
