Annual farmers' and craft market in Pirmasens' Erlenbrunn district with local products and crafts
About Erlenbrunn Farmers' Market
The Erlenbrunn Farmers' Market takes place once a year in the Erlenbrunn district of Pirmasens, transforming Forststraße and the area around the multi-purpose hall into a lively marketplace. Local farmers, craftspeople, and artisans present regional products, creative works, and culinary specialties from the Westpfalz region.
From 11 a.m., market stalls will offer fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables, cheese, honey, sausages, and meat products from local farms, as well as woodwork, basket weaving, and handicrafts. The market is confirmed in the 2026 event flyer for the city of Pirmasens; the exact date will be announced in the summer. Experience suggests it usually takes place in September or October.
The Erlenbrunn Farmers' Market is a traditional autumn market in the Erlenbrunn district of Pirmasens, which has been a firm fixture in the event calendar of this Westpfalz city for years. The market combines the idea of a classic farmers' market with regional produce, a creative market for crafts and artisanal work, and a convivial village festival.
Erlenbrunn is located in the south of Pirmasens, on the edge of the Palatinate Forest and directly on the border with Saarland. The rural character of the district provides the perfect setting for a market that focuses on regional agriculture, crafts, and culinary delights.
The venue is Forststraße, which becomes car-free for the market day, as well as the area around the Mehrzweckhalle (multi-purpose hall) in Erlenbrunn. Stalls line up along about one kilometer: farmers from the Pirmasens area offer seasonal fruit and vegetables, eggs, cheese, sausages, meat products, honey, and jams. Beekeepers, winemakers from the nearby Palatinate wine regions, and distillers from the Palatinate Forest complement the offerings.
The creative market, also a firm component, features woodwork, turned bowls, basket weaving, textile art, ceramics, hand-carved figures, and seasonal decorations. Many stallholders come from the Westpfalz and neighboring Saarland and use the market as a showcase for their creations.
Local associations provide food and drinks: hearty stews, grilled sausages, potato pancakes (Reibekuchen), quiches, homemade cakes, and pies, as well as beer, wine, and coffee specialties. Musical performances on a small stage and hands-on activities for children complete the program. The market is not just an occasion for shopping, but also a social gathering point for the residents of Erlenbrunn and their guests from all over the Westpfalz.
