An ice rink will be built on the square during Advent. The inviting artificial ice rink has been attracting visitors from all over the region and the neighboring cantons for several years. It transforms the square into a Christmas fairy tale from December to January. Ice skates can be rented on site.
In the rest of the year, the ensemble of surrounding houses with cafés and restaurants gives it a Mediterranean flair.

During the summer months, Sebastiansplatz is tempting with its numerous garden terraces, which create a southern atmosphere. During Advent, small houses are set up on Sebastiansplatz, offering warm wine and other delicacies. During this time, the square is transformed into an enchanting winter fairytale. There are also houses and an ice skating rink on the neighboring town square.
