Sunday shopping in Mechernich: Advent magic on November 30th!
It's that time again in Mechernich: on November 30, 2025, a Sunday, there will be a day of shopping on the occasion of the Christmas market. From 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., shopping enthusiasts can stroll around and enjoy the pre-Christmas atmosphere. City and retail representatives are expecting a lot of visitors and a colorful hustle and bustle.
North Rhine-Westphalia allows up to four shopping Sundays per year. Exceptions are Boxing Day, Boxing Day, Easter Sunday and Whitsun Sunday. This is a good opportunity for retailers to get a boost before Christmas and for the people of Cologne and the surrounding area to get a bargain or two.
Weather forecast and historical background
Although the weather forecast predicts slightly rainy weather and temperatures around 9°C, the people of Cologne are not so easily deterred. After all, shopping on a Sunday is a tradition that dates back to the 19th century. At that time, such Sunday openings were widespread until they were regulated by various shop closing laws.
A look across the borders shows how different the approach to Sunday openings is. While in Poland shops are open on Sundays, except on public holidays, in Italy Sunday is usually a closed day and only eight Sundays open for shopping are allowed there per year. In Greece, however, shops remain closed on Sundays, with exceptions in large cities and tourist regions.
Events and other schedules
For interested buyers, there are currently no further Sunday openings in North Rhine-Westphalia in the near future. The next opportunity, after the Sunday shopping in Mechernich, will wait until the Christmas business and the coming holidays.

In summary, November 30th is a day for everyone who is looking forward to the upcoming Christmas and perhaps is still looking for the last gifts. Or just to enjoy the Christmas atmosphere in Mechernich while the rain beats down on the streets outside. Anyone who lives in the region or is planning a trip should definitely not miss this day!
