Spring Market with a Clear Focus

The Geranium Market Aurich is not a specialty market with a wide-ranging assortment, but a focused spring ritual centered around one plant: the geranium. On the central market square, stalls from horticultural businesses from Aurich and the surrounding area line up, presenting thousands of blooming plants in all colors, varieties, and sizes.

What Visitors Can Take Home

The focus is on geraniums, both upright and trailing varieties (Pelargonium zonale and peltatum). Additionally, exhibitors offer summer blooms, balcony plants, perennials, Mediterranean plants, tomato plants, and everything that can be replanted in May for gardens and balconies. Advice is included: the garden centers provide care tips and advise on location, watering, and overwintering.

Sunday Shopping

Accompanying the market, there is a Sunday shopping event in the Aurich city center. Fashion stores, bakeries, cafés, and small boutiques open their doors, making the day a combined shopping, gardening, and strolling experience. This gives the Geranium Market a character that extends far beyond just buying plants.

East Frisian Tradition

Aurich families consider the Geranium Market a fixed spring ritual: once in May to the market, buy plants, meet family and friends, and stop by a café in the pedestrian zone. A typical provincial town event with its own character and enduring charm.

Geranium Market Aurich — edition 2026

On Sunday, May 3, 2026, the Aurich market square will become a sea of flowers. At the traditional Geranium Market, garden centers from Aurich and the surrounding area will present their spring assortment: standing and hanging geraniums, summer blooms, perennials, balcony plants, and summer vegetables. Simultaneously, the shops in Aurich city center will open for Sunday shopping. Families from all over the district will use the day to cover their needs for geraniums and balcony plants for the upcoming season while experiencing the city center. The exact exhibitor list and accompanying program will be published in good time by Aurich Tourism on the official website.

The Geranium Market is part of Aurich's folk festival tradition and is noted in previous years' reports by NWZ Online as a fixed program highlight. The combination with the Sunday shopping event makes the day a multi-faceted experience.
