Martinimarkt with French Delicacy Market Alzey

The Alzeyer Martinimarkt is a well-established autumn event organized by the Alzey Tourist Association. What sets it apart from comparable autumn markets is its combination with the French Delicacy Market “Bleu-Blanc-Rouge”.

French-Rheinhessen Dialogue

The Bleu-Blanc-Rouge Market – named after the colors of the French Tricolore – brings French producers and traders into the city center. They present cheeses from France’s major regions, wine, charcuterie, patisseries, fresh baguettes, olive oils, nougat, crêpes, and galettes. The combination with the classic Martinimarkt creates a special dialogue: Rheinhessen products and French specialties in close proximity.

Sunday from 1 PM to 6 PM

The market takes place on a Sunday in October from 1 PM to 6 PM. This opening time covers the late morning to early evening and is well-suited for a relaxed Sunday outing. The market is designed as a "verkaufsoffener Sonntag" (Sunday shopping day): the shops in the city center are also open.

Atmosphere and Location

The city center of Alzey, with its squares and pedestrian zone, offers ideal conditions for a market format. Cafés, restaurants, and bars provide gastronomic services beyond the market stalls. The weather plays a role: on a sunny October day, the market unfolds its full charm.

Tourist Plus for the Region

The Martinimarkt attracts not only residents of Alzey but also visitors from the Rhein-Main region, the Palatinate, and nearby Hesse. It thus contributes to the tourist positioning of the "Volkerstadt" (city of the Volkers) as an all-year-round attraction – not just during the main wine festival season.
