Hollandmarkt Bassum

Dutch Flair in Bassum

The Netherlands is not far from Bassum, and the cultural connection between Northern Germany and the neighbours across the border is close. With the Hollandmarkt, the town of Bassum brings a piece of Dutch market culture into its own city centre every year. Dutch vendors travel with their typical products and create a unique market day.

Typical Products and Foods

The exhibitors bring everything that characterises the Netherlands culturally: flowers from the famous growing regions, traditional clogs (Klompen), various types of cheese — from young Gouda to old Beemster —, fresh Poffertjes, Stroopwafels, pickled herring, and much more. Anyone who wants to experience a piece of Holland and take it home will find a rich selection here.

Open Sunday

Parallel to the Hollandmarkt, Bassum's city centre is open for shopping. The local businesses open their doors and use the market visitors as an additional audience. This makes the market a success for city marketing and strengthens the local retail trade in the city centre.

Children's Zone — New for 2026

A new feature for the 2026 market is the children's zone. With games, activities, and hands-on programmes, the youngest visitors are catered for, making the market day a real family experience.
