Oberwiesenthaler Marktplatzfest

Marktplatzfest 2025

From August 15 to 17, 2025, the market square of Germany's highest town was once again transformed into a festival mile. For three days, there was live music, dance, and children's entertainment on the main stage — alongside the traditional craft market with Erzgebirge lacemakers, woodcarvers, and candle makers, a craft street for the little ones, the 'Blue Light Mile' with police and fire services, and on Sunday, the Wiesenthaler Vintage Car Rally.

As every year, admission was free. The event attracted guests from all over the Erzgebirge, from neighbouring Czech Republic, and from the Upper Vogtland, and was one of the most visited summer events in the region. The atmosphere at 914 metres altitude, framed by the Fichtelberg, made the festival a special experience in 2025 as well.
