Vibrant Tradition of Customs
The Martinsmarkt is based on the Catholic customs surrounding Saint Martin. In Borsum, it is traditionally celebrated on the Sunday before November 11th. The Borsumer Kaspel local history association has been organizing the market for years, developing a market structure that combines tradition and good market quality.
50+ Stalls and Catering
Over 50 exhibitors offer regionally produced crafts, Advent decorations, autumn gifts, culinary specialties, and small snacks. Mulled wine, punch, soups, bratwurst, and grilled dishes ensure culinary well-being. The Heinrich-Ruhen-Platz is festively illuminated, and the center of the market often forms a communal area with music and performances.
Borsum and the World's Largest St. Martin's Lantern
Borsum is one of the largest districts of the municipality of Harsum, located in the Hildesheim region. The world's largest St. Martin's lantern is a local specialty: it is erected before the market and announces the event from afar. This symbol makes the Borsum Martinsmarkt a unique brand among the markets in the region.
