As the days grow shorter and the first wisps of fog drift over the Weserbergland, the town of Holzminden invites you to Herbstglühen. This format, combining street food, city life, and atmospheric lighting, has established itself in recent years as the prelude to the cold season.
Street Food on the Market Square
The culinary heart of the event is the street food festival on the market square. Food trucks and mobile food stalls present an international spectrum: burgers, pasta, Asian specialities, vegan options, and sweet treats. The combination of warm lighting, savoury aromas, and cool autumn air creates a special atmosphere.
Sunday Shopping
On Sunday, November 2nd, 2026, the shops in Holzminden's city centre will open their doors between 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM. The Sunday shopping event offers an opportunity to stroll through the town in a relaxed atmosphere, discover autumn fashion, and get in the mood for the upcoming Christmas season.
Atmospheric Staging in the Evening
On Saturday evening, November 1st, 2026, warm lighting will bathe the city centre in autumnal hues. Between 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM, Herbstglühen becomes a meeting point for everyone who wants to end the weekend with culinary delights and good company. Seating and standing tables around the food trucks invite visitors to linger.
Joint Commitment
Herbstglühen is organised by Stadtmarketing Holzminden GmbH in cooperation with Werbekreis Holzminden e.V. The collaboration between city marketing and local retailers demonstrates how a culinary event can become a cross-generational city experience.
Herbstglühen — edition 2026
The 2026 edition follows the proven concept of culinary diversity and city centre experience. Food trucks from the region and well-known national providers complement each other; the staging of the market square with warm lighting gives the weekend its special character.
