About Martinsmarkt Daaden

The Daadener Martinsmarkt combines Advent spirit with market tradition and a touch of funfair in November. Over a weekend around St. Martin's Day, the Daaden town center between Hans-Artur-Bauckhage-Platz, Schützenhof, and Mittelstraße transforms into a large, illuminated market area with stalls, a Ferris wheel, children's carousels, and Sunday shopping. The event is organized by Aktionskreis Daaden e.V., who, together with local businesses, clubs, and restaurateurs, put on a varied weekend. A raffle with attractive prizes and the atmospheric lighting concept make the market one of the most beautiful pre-Christmas events in the southern Westerwald.

The Daadener Martinsmarkt is one of the most important town festival formats in the Westerwald small town in late autumn. The organizer is Aktionskreis Daaden e.V., which designs the weekend together with retail, restaurateurs, and clubs.

Three Locations – One Market

The Martinsmarkt extends over three central squares and axes: Hans-Artur-Bauckhage-Platz, Schützenhof, and Mittelstraße. This spatial expansion gives the market a festive character and ensures that visitors can stroll, discover, and experience new atmospheres time and again.

Ferris Wheel and Carousel

A special feature of the Daadener Martinsmarkt is the Ferris wheel, which provides a pre-Christmas atmosphere and a special view over the Daaden town center. It is complemented by a children's carousel, which attracts families and makes the market an experience for the youngest visitors.

Sunday Shopping

Sunday is designated as a shopping Sunday from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. The shops in the Daaden town center are open and complement the market offerings. The Aktionskreis thus combines two functions: revitalizing stationary retail and creating an atmospheric occasion for the population.

Raffle and Advent Spirit

A raffle with attractive prizes, donated by participating shops and sponsors, is one of the highlights. Mulled wine, regional specialties, bratwurst, and sweets characterize the gastronomic offer. The illumination of the town center creates an initial Advent atmosphere that many Daaden residents specifically seek out to get into the pre-Christmas mood.

Martinsmarkt Daaden — edition 2026

On the weekend of November 7th and 8th, 2026, Aktionskreis Daaden e.V. invites you to the traditional Daadener Martinsmarkt. Saturday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., the town center between Hans-Artur-Bauckhage-Platz, Schützenhof, and Mittelstraße transforms into a large market with a Ferris wheel, children's carousel, mulled wine stands, Sunday shopping (1 p.m.–6 p.m.), and a raffle with attractive prizes. The market marks the start of the Advent season in the Westerwald small town and brings together locals, families, and guests from the entire VG Daaden-Herdorf for an atmospheric weekend.

The Daadener Martinsmarkt 2026 will take place on Saturday, November 7th, and Sunday, November 8th. The venue is the town center of Daaden with the three central axes Hans-Artur-Bauckhage-Platz, Schützenhof, and Mittelstraße.
