Jakobimarkt Rain

About Jakobimarkt Rain

The Jakobimarkt in Rain boasts an exceptionally long tradition – the market was already approved for St. Margaret's Day in 1359 and is documented from the early 14th century. On the last Sunday in July, around 60 to 80 exhibitors transform the traffic-free main street of the flower city of Rain into a colourful market mile. The offerings range from textiles, leather goods, kitchen appliances, and handicrafts to honey products, spices, ice cream, candied almonds, and chocolate-covered fruits. Local shops participate with an open Sunday for shopping, and there's a special promotion in Schlossstraße. A lively market day on the Romantic Road.

A Market with Centuries-Old Tradition

The Jakobimarkt in Rain is one of the most traditional markets in the region. It has been documented since the early 14th century, and was officially approved in 1359 – at that time still for St. Margaret's Day on July 20th. Rain, the "flower city" on the Romantic Road, is located in the district of Donau-Ries in Bavaria, where the Lech flows into the Danube.

60 to 80 Exhibitors in the City Centre

Every last Sunday in July, around 60 to 80 market stalls line both sides of the main street. The main street and Schlossstraße are closed to traffic from 5:00 AM, allowing the city centre to be dedicated entirely to the market activities. The offerings are diverse:

Textiles and leather goods
Kitchen appliances and handicrafts
Honey products, spices, ice cream
Candied almonds and chocolate-covered fruits

Open Sunday for Shopping

Local retailers participate with an open Sunday for shopping, opening their stores in the afternoon. In Schlossstraße, there is also a special promotion, and many local businesses attract visitors with discounts and special offers. This combines the historical market with a modern shopping experience.

Atmospheric Market Day

The Jakobimarkt is a firm fixture in the event calendar of the city of Rain and attracts numerous visitors from the Donau-Ries district and beyond every year. Those who appreciate tradition, handicrafts, and culinary diversity will find something here.
