Second Edition of a Young Format
The Emden Spring Festival is a new event format that first took place in 2025 and is now entering its second edition in 2026. It fills a gap in the event calendar between the Easter Market and the May Market, offering East Frisian direct marketers an additional spring platform. The collaboration between agricultural sponsorship (Agricultural Association for Ostfriesland) and municipal economic participation (Emden Economic Development Agency and City Marketing) ensures the professional and communicative quality of the festival.
Regional Products in Focus
The Spring Festival centers on the presentation of regional products: fresh food directly from producers (vegetables, herbs, eggs, cheese, honey, sausage), floristry with spring flowers and seedlings, crafts from East Frisian production, and specialties like East Frisian tea, cream cakes, and beans. The exhibitors are primarily East Frisian businesses.
Extended Spring Weekend
A special attraction is the combination with the Oldtimer and US Car Meet on the following day (April 12, 2026). While the Spring Festival on Saturday shapes the city center with a market character, the classic cars take center stage on Sunday. Both events create an attractive spring kickoff for Emden's city center.
Atmosphere and Admission
The festival runs on Saturday from approximately 10 AM to 4 PM and admission is free. The atmosphere is calmer and more market-oriented than at large folk festivals (Volksfeste) – the focus is on meeting the producers, tasting seasonal products, and enjoying the spring ambiance in the city center.
Emden Spring Festival — edition 2026
As its second edition, the festival builds on the positive experiences of its debut in 2025. The organizers again expect numerous exhibitors from the surrounding East Frisian region and an interested audience from the city and region. The combination with the Oldtimer Sunday strengthens foot traffic in the city center throughout the entire weekend.
Detailed program points and exhibitor lists will be published in advance of the event via the websites of the City of Emden and the Tourist Information.
