Hermeskeil Farmers' and Crafts Market
Approx. 100 exhibitors with Hochwald specialties and Sunday shopping in October
About Farmers' and Crafts Market Hermeskeil
Region's Most Visited Single Event
The Hermeskeil Farmers' and Crafts Market is considered a top date in the rural event season in the Trier-Saarburg district. With around 100 exhibitors and Sunday shopping, it attracts thousands of visitors from the entire Hochwald region, Saarland, and the greater Trier area. The town of Hermeskeil has thus established itself as a Hochwald market hotspot.
Hochwald Specialties in Focus
The focus is on regional agricultural products from the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park: honey from the forests, Hochwald cheese, homemade bread, Hochwald potatoes, schnapps, and liqueurs from regional distilleries. This is complemented by game from the Hochwald forests, regional sausages, jams, and pickled specialties. The range is further enhanced by arts and crafts and artisanal products from the Hunsrück.
Sunday Shopping
A special feature is the Sunday shopping from 12 PM to 5 PM: Hermeskeil retailers open their doors, and the market and town shops merge into a cohesive day destination. This makes the market day a form of local economic promotion and one of the few Sundays a year when the Hochwald region is economically active.
Organization and Date
The organizers are the City of Hermeskeil and the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park. In 2024, the market took place on October 13th, and in 2025 on October 12th — the date for 2026 is expected to be October 11th (exact confirmation pending from the city). Families will find an accompanying program with pony rides, bouncy castles, and craft activities.
