Bockhorner Markt

Three Days of Celebration in Bockhorn

The Bockhorner Markt is a traditional folk festival (Volksfest) that transforms the municipality of Bockhorn into a large festival ground for three days. From the parade on Saturday and the church day (Kirchentag) to the spectacular fireworks on Monday, customs and entertainment unfold in the familiar order.

Grand Parade on Saturday

The festivities begin with the parade on Saturday, featuring music bands, clubs, decorated floats, and traditional groups. Residents of Bockhorn and their guests line the streets, with many families attending with their children.

Church Day (Kirchentag)

The church day (Kirchentag) holds a special place in the Bockhorner Markt, underscoring the festival's historical connection to religious occasions. A church service and communal gathering characterize this part of the program.

Amusement Rides and Market Stalls

Throughout the weekend, amusement rides and game stalls are set up, and vendors present their goods at market stalls. From the chain carousel and bumper cars to the Ferris wheel, everything is available.

Breakfast in the Tents on Monday

A Bockhorn tradition is the breakfast in the tents on Monday morning. Local families and friends gather for a shared breakfast, often accompanied by an early beer.

Spectacular Fireworks on Monday

The highlight and conclusion of the Bockhorner Markt is the spectacular firework display on Monday evening around 9 PM. An impressive show over the market square concludes the three festive days in a spectacular manner.
