Brandenburg an der Havel Garden Market

Brandenburg an der Havel — the Three-City on the Water

Brandenburg an der Havel, with just under 73,000 inhabitants, is the fourth-largest city in Brandenburg and has been promoting an active city marketing strategy for years. The historic Three-City (Altstadt, Neustadt, Dominsel) offers beautiful stages for city festivals with its market squares and waterways — Neustädtischer Markt in the heart of Neustadt has been the venue for the Garden Market, the city's spring season opener, for years.

The Garden Market — Tradition for over Ten Years

The Garden Market will take place for the 12th time in 2026. The Brandenburg City Marketing and Tourism Company (STG) organizes the event together with the city and local specialist businesses. Nurseries, tree nurseries, florists, garden item and home decor dealers from the region and Brandenburg will present their spring assortments on Neustädtischer Markt: perennials, summer flowers, potted plants, herbs, vegetable plants, bonsai, tools, balcony furniture, planters, home textiles. In addition, arts and crafts, jewelry, fashion, and regional specialties — the market is not just a plant market in the narrow sense, but an urban spring festival.

The 12th Edition 2026 — Opening and Sunday Shopping

The Garden Market will be opened on Saturday, April 25th at 10 a.m. by Mayor Daniel Keip and STG Managing Director Thomas Krüger — a short ceremonial act on the stage podium. The market is open on Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday is an official Sunday shopping day — Brandenburg retailers will open their doors, making a city visit a full-day excursion. Exact stage programs and hands-on activities will be communicated by the STG in the weeks before the market.
