Neustadt Farmers' Market with Farm Market
Large Palatinate Farm Market for the 2nd Experience Sunday, combined with Elwetritsche Race and WINE.EVENT
About Neustadt Farm Market
The Neustadt Farmers' Market with Farm Market for the 2nd Experience Sunday is a very special edition of the Palatinate weekly market tradition. Unlike the regular weekly market—which takes place on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. (and Thursdays from April to October) in Neustadt's historic market square—the Sunday Farm Market offers an expanded, festival-oriented program.
The 2026 edition takes place on Sunday, May 3, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The date is not chosen by chance: it coincides with the city of Neustadt's 2nd Experience Sunday, during which the entire city center is enlivened with a packed program of Sunday shopping and themed events.
In the historic market square—with the Collegiate Church as a backdrop—regional Palatinate farmers, producers, and specialty vendors will present their products on Sunday:
- Palatinate Farmers with seasonal fruits and vegetables, eggs, poultry, game.
- Palatinate Specialty Producers with sausages, cheese, bread, honey, jams, liqueurs.
- Palatinate Winemakers with wines directly from the surrounding wine villages.
- Culinary Stalls with warm Palatinate dishes—Flammkuchen, Palatinate sausages, potato pancakes, regionally inspired snacks.
On this Sunday, the farm market combines with the other events of the Experience Sunday to create a full Palatinate city day:
- 12 p.m.: Start of the Elwetritsche Race at the Floßbach in Wallgasse.
- 1 p.m.–6 p.m.: WINE.EVENT "Pink Glow in the Glass" in the town hall with rosé and sparkling wine tasting.
- 11 a.m.–6 p.m.: Shops open for business on Maximilianstraße and in the city center.
Anyone who wants to experience the full Experience Sunday will have a classic Palatinate day: Farmers' Market in the morning with Frühschoppen, Elwetritsche Race at lunchtime as a spectacle, wine tasting in the town hall in the afternoon, city stroll, and shopping all day long.
