Tips & Advice
- The market runs over three long weekends and is closed Monday to Wednesday in between, so plan your visit for a Thursday through Sunday.
- Sunday closes earlier than Friday and Saturday, so come on a Friday or Saturday if you want to stay at the huts well into the evening.
- Keep your eyes and ears open as you stroll, because small spontaneous performances can start up anywhere on the market while it is open.
- Coming from the Ruhr area, take the Regional Express from Dortmund or via Hagen and Schwerte, which gets you to Arnsberg in under an hour.
- Dress warmly for an evening outdoors among the huts, and warm up with one of the hot drinks served at the stands.
