Know Before You Go

  • Tickets: Adults: 5,00 €; children under 16: free; adults and children with Mollie Guestcard: free.

Tips & Advice

  • Come by bus or train if you can. The organizers recommend public transport because of heavy traffic, and services run every hour.
  • Buy your ticket at one of the sales points in town, since tickets aren't sold online. Numbers aren't limited, so you don't need to worry about it selling out.
  • Hold on to your ticket, because admission is paid only once and covers the whole run of the market on later weekends too.
  • If you're staying locally with a Mollie Guestcard, bring it along. The card itself works as your ticket and gets adults and children in free.
  • Wear warm layers and comfortable shoes for the lit walk between the cellars, since they aren't connected and you walk through town from one to the next.

  • Rock trifft Klassik with the Landespolizeiorchester Rheinland-Pfalz at the Lorettahalle on Saturday, November 28.
