Autumnal artisan and village market in the Göllheim Cultural Quarter on the 3rd October weekend with comedy and showmen
The Göllheim Autumn Market is the autumnal counterpart to the Spring Market and is a fixed fixture in the event calendar of the municipality of Göllheim in the Donnersbergkreis district. On the 3rd weekend in October, the Cultural Quarter in the historic town centre transforms into a market with a character of joie de vivre and artistic enjoyment, complemented by showmen, live music, and comedy performances.
In 2026, the market will run on Saturday, October 17th, and Sunday, October 18th. The concept remains true to the Spring Market: high-quality artisan exhibitors, culinary specialities, family entertainment – complemented by autumnal elements and entertaining live acts. Organised by the municipality of Göllheim in the Cultural Quarter.
The Göllheim Autumn Market traditionally takes place on the 3rd weekend in October and is the autumnal counterpart to the Spring Market in May. Both markets follow the concept of "Joie de Vivre & Artistic Enjoyment" and bring together high-quality exhibitors, culinary offerings, and family entertainment in the Cultural Quarter. The autumn date takes advantage of the last warm October weekends before the cold season begins.
The Cultural Quarter in the Old Town Centre forms the cultural heart of Göllheim and is the venue for many events throughout the year. With its half-timbered houses, cobblestone alleys, and small squares, it creates an authentic, village-like romantic atmosphere that is particularly suitable for a market visit. In October, the autumnal colours of the town trees add to the charm.
As with the Spring Market, artisans shape the offerings: jewellery, ceramics, glass, textiles, wood, leather, and more. In autumn, seasonal elements are added: pumpkin decorations, autumnal floristry, autumnal specialities such as Federweißer (new wine), Zwiebelkuchen (onion tart), and chestnuts. Early signs of Advent, such as materials for Advent wreaths, are also offered.
A special feature of the Autumn Market is the live acts: comedy performances, music performances, and showmen complement the market activities. These entertainment elements give the market a festival-like character that goes beyond mere strolling. Families with children will find particular attractions in the showmen's area.
The 2026 Göllheim Autumn Market will take place on Saturday, October 17th, and Sunday, October 18th, in the Cultural Quarter. High-quality artisan exhibitors, autumnal specialities, comedy and music performances, and showmen characterise the market. Free admission. Organiser: Municipality of Göllheim.
