Organizers and Tradition
The organizer is the Verein für Handel, Handwerk und Gewerbe Hanerau-Hademarschen e.V. (Association for Trade, Crafts, and Industry Hanerau-Hademarschen). The market has been held in this tradition for many years and is an important date for the local economy – the shops link the advertising campaign of the Sunday shopping with the crowd-pulling power of the folk festival.
