How to read the dates
Confirmed means the city or market operator has published its 2026 dates. Expected means the market follows a fixed, highly reliable pattern — usually the Friday before Advent through 23 or 24 December — but hasn’t posted 2026 dates yet. Verify means sources currently disagree, or the event is announced only weeks out. Most European markets confirm between late August and mid-October. Re-check anything marked expected before you book flights around it.
No markets match that search.
