Jever Arts and Crafts and Farmers' Market (July)

Arts and Crafts in the Marienstadt

Jever, with just under 14,000 inhabitants, is the district town of Friesland. It combines a historic city center, a castle, and a brewery. The Kirchplatz, located directly below the town church, is the natural center for many city events – in summer, also for the Arts and Crafts and Farmers' Market. The market will take place twice in 2026: once in July and once in September. This summer edition from July 11 to 12 benefits from the region's high season.

Curated Selection

Organizer Uwe's Märkte carefully curates the exhibitor list. Anyone presenting at the Kirchplatz must prove their craftsmanship: no industrial mass-produced goods, but woodwork, ceramics, jewelry, glass, textiles, leather goods, prints, and creative original productions. The offer is supplemented by farmers' market stalls with regional specialties.

Atmosphere and Sociability

The Kirchplatz, with its cafés and restaurants, offers the ideal setting for a relaxed market visit. Families will find a pleasant mix of looking, buying, and lingering – ice cream, coffee, rolls, or lunch are available in the immediate vicinity.

Region and Travel

Market enthusiasts travel to the Kirchplatz from all over the Wangerland, Wilhelmshaven, Wittmund, and Aurich. Holidaymakers from the East Frisian Islands and the North Sea resorts also use a market weekend for a day trip to the Marienstadt. The combination of a market visit and a city tour through the historic old town is a proven concept.

Two Dates in 2026

In addition to the July date, a second edition of the arts and crafts market will take place in September. Jever thus offers a platform that makes regional arts and crafts visible and at the same time boosts tourism.
