Lohne Spring Market

Spring Market on Raiffeisenplatz

The Lohne Spring Market is a fixture in the event calendar of the city of Lohne and is traditionally held on the weekend after Corpus Christi. In 2026, Corpus Christi falls on June 4th — the Spring Market follows from June 5th to 7th, 2026. The venue is Raiffeisenplatz, a central event space in Lohne's city center with ample room for carousels, food stalls, and market stands.

Carousels and Food Stalls

The heart of the Spring Market are the carousels and amusement rides. Classic folk festival (Volksfest) attractions such as the chain carousel, dodgems, children's carousel, haunted house, and smaller roller coaster variants attract families and young people. Food stalls provide visitors with bratwurst, fries, crepes, almonds, crepes, cotton candy, and soft drinks. It's a folk festival in its classic form — manageable, but with a complete atmosphere.

Flea Market on Saturday

A special feature is the flea market on Saturday, which complements the folk festival (Volksfest) with an additional market element. Private sellers and small traders present their goods — from used items to collector's pieces. Those looking for bargains or simply enjoying browsing will find a worthwhile selection here. The flea market adds an extra attraction to the weekend.

Sunday Shopping

On Sunday, the shops in Lohne's city center open as part of a Sunday shopping event. This combination of folk festival (Volksfest) and shopping opportunity is clever — visitors to the Spring Market can also explore the city center shops, and local retailers benefit from the increased footfall. A proven synergy between festival culture and the economy.

Free Family Festival

The Spring Market is free to enter — carousel rides and food are paid for on-site, but no one has to pay an entrance fee. This makes the market accessible to all families, regardless of their budget. Those coming with children can plan a budget for a few carousel rides and a crepe — and have a perfect spring family afternoon.

Folk Festival with Tradition

The Lohne Spring Market is a folk festival (Volksfest) in the classic sense. Not mega-events with a spectacular character, but down-to-earth festival culture that has enlivened the city for generations. Anyone in Lohne in May/June cannot miss the Spring Market — it belongs to spring like the first ice cream and the first warm day.
