Jüchen schmeckt – Evening Markets

An Evening Market for the Whole Family

The evening market series “Jüchen schmeckt” is one of the newest event formats in the Lower Rhine town of Jüchen. After a successful debut in 2025, the town is continuing the format in 2026: Four Thursdays between May and September will transform the central Jüchen Market Square into an open street food and meeting hub.

Dates 2026

The four dates are spread throughout the warm season — each from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM:

• Tuesday, May 5, 2026 — Season Opener
• Tuesday, June 9, 2026 — Summer Edition
• Tuesday, July 7, 2026 — High Summer
• Tuesday, September 1, 2026 — Late Summer (supported by NEW AG)

The Concept: Streetfood, Drinks, Music

At each event, food trucks and drink stands will set up, offering a mix of regional Lower Rhine specialties and international cuisine (burgers, street food classics, desserts). Plus cocktails, beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages. Cozy seating with tables, fairy lights, and decorations will create an after-work atmosphere. The event will be accompanied by live music on a small stage — singer-songwriters, cover bands, local artists.

The Organizers

The series is curated by Marc Pesch and Dustin Thissen, in close coordination with the town of Jüchen and its economic development agency (Carolin Voigt). Economic development officer Voigt emphasizes that the markets “enrich the leisure offerings and social interaction” — they are explicitly intended as a meeting point for citizens and local businesses.

Jüchen in the Rhein-Kreis Neuss District

Jüchen is a town in the Rhein-Kreis Neuss district, located in the Lower Rhine region between Mönchengladbach and Grevenbroich. With around 23,000 inhabitants, it is a relatively small but vibrant community. With “Jüchen schmeckt,” the town has established a format that brings urban street food flair to the small Lower Rhine town and revitalizes the town center.
