Tips & Advice
- Wear sturdy shoes, because the ground is gravel and gets muddy and slippery in rain or snow.
- With a wheelchair or stroller, use the car park or Südbad entrance, because the Neustadtswall entrance has an obstacle in front of the container.
- Warm up in the yurt between stalls, because it has a new stove this year and stays warm in any weather.
- Come back on another day if you can, because the market stalls and exhibitors change daily over the festival.
- Bring something to donate, because entry is free and the volunteer-run festival relies on visitor donations to cover its costs.
Special Events & Promotions
- New this year: the yurt has a new stove.
- The festival is in its tenth year.
