Tradition between Church and Market
The Kirch- und Markttag Salzhausen combines the ecclesiastical and secular traditions of the place into a common festival day. The close connection between church and community in Lower Saxon village life is reflected in this event, which appeals to the entire population as a community festival.
Sunday, September 20, 2026
The festival day always takes place on the third Sunday in September. In 2026, this falls on September 20th. The day begins with a church service in the morning on the church hill and then unfolds into a market day in the town center.
Church Service on the Church Hill
The day begins with a festive church service on the historic church hill of Salzhausen. The Salzhausen-Raven parish invites you to the celebration, often in a specially designed form with music, choir, and a festive character that kicks off the market day.
Market Day in the Town Center
After the church service, the market stalls in the town center open. Traders from the region, craftspeople, organic producers, bakers, and butchers present their goods. A flea market also offers bric-a-brac and collector's items. North German specialties, heather honey, regional sausages, and baked goods are part of the culinary offerings.
Music Program and Stages
Various stages in the town center offer a varied music program. Associations from Salzhausen and the surrounding area present themselves, choirs sing, brass bands play, and occasionally professional bands perform. The program combines with the market activities to create a festive all-day festival.
