EECMA – the European Excellent Christmas Market Association – is a non-profit organisation dedicated to awarding the EECMA quality seal to Christmas markets and Christmas towns that demonstrate a high level of quality in terms of concept, tradition, sustainability, visitor experience and fair treatment of their partners.

The EECMA quality seal provides a visible symbol of quality as well as a set of tools for visitors, market vendors, institutions and authorities, representing a community built on quality and shared values.
