Nahe Wine Festival Feierabendmarkt – Season Opening Kornmarkt

The Bad Kreuznach Feierabendmarkt

The Feierabendmarkt was created in response to the need for regional, fresh products and a relaxed meeting place in the open air. Unlike the classic weekly market, it takes place in the late afternoon – ideal for working people who want to shop after work and linger over a glass of wine or a snack at the same time. The Kornmarkt, with its Renaissance buildings and historic atmosphere, provides the perfect backdrop.

SooNahe – Regional Brand from the Naheland

SooNahe is a regional brand of the economic development agency in the district of Bad Kreuznach, which certifies and markets producers from the entire Naheland. Wine, beer, fruit, vegetables, meat, baked goods, cosmetics, and handicrafts are bundled under the SooNahe umbrella. Many SooNahe providers will be present at the season opening Feierabendmarkt to present their products.

Vendors and Atmosphere

The stalls feature a mix of vintners from the Nahe region, breweries, beekeepers, farmers, cheesemakers, bakers, confectioners, chefs, and street food vendors. Pop-up bars serve wine by the glass, and food trucks offer hot snacks from pasta to burgers to currywurst. Live music or DJs create a relaxed after-work atmosphere. Seating is limited – many visitors stand or move freely around the market.

Bad Kreuznach and the Kornmarkt

The Kornmarkt is one of the historic squares in Bad Kreuznach's old town – once a trading post for grain, now a venue and gastronomic center. Surrounded by half-timbered houses, cafés, and restaurants, it offers an attractive setting for open-air events. The spa town of Bad Kreuznach (around 51,000 inhabitants) is the administrative seat of the district of the same name and the center of the Nahe wine region.
