6,000 classic cars and 1,000 parts stands on 200,000 sqm in Bockhorn-Osterforde
The Bockhorn Oldtimer Market is an institution. Held annually in the Frisian municipality of Bockhorn since 1984, it has grown into the most important meeting point for the European classic car scene. 200,000 square meters of event space, 6,000 historic vehicles, and 1,000 parts stands – these figures speak for themselves.
The 2026 special exhibition is dedicated to Italian and French classics under the motto 'Carpe diem & cest la vie'. From Fiat 500 and Alfa Giulietta to Citroën DS and Peugeot 504 – the Mediterranean classic car tradition takes center stage. A curated selection of iconic models will be presented in a dedicated area.
On Sunday, the Friesland Rally will kick off with 120 vehicles manufactured in 1980 and older. The tour leads through the picturesque landscape of the Wangerland and the Frisian Uplands and is a visual highlight not only for the participants.
The event kicks off on Friday evening with a concert, bringing exhibitors and visitors together in a relaxed atmosphere – a shared start to an intensive weekend.
Sunday features a trunk sale: private sellers lay out parts, signs, model cars, and memorabilia from the trunks of their vehicles – a treasure trove for collectors.
Admission: €15 for adults, €5 for children. Travel via the A29 (Bockhorn / Varel exit), parking available on the vast grounds.
The 43rd edition builds on the enduring popularity of the Bockhorn Oldtimer Market. With the special exhibition dedicated to Italian and French classics, a cultural sphere embodying elegance, style, and Mediterranean charm is brought to the forefront.
The Friesland Rally complements the static market with a dynamic element, transforming the event into a comprehensive experience that combines viewing, experiencing, and participating.
