Pfingstmarkt Hanstedt

Pfingstmarkt Tradition at the Alter Geidenhof

The Alter Geidenhof in Hanstedt has been the venue for the annual Pfingstmarkt for years. The historic farm with its stables and barns forms the perfect backdrop for a traditional North German Volksfest (people's festival). The organizer is the Faslamsclub Hanstedt, which keeps North German customs alive through its commitment.

Three Festival Days from May 23rd to 25th, 2026

Pentecost Saturday to Pentecost Monday form the framework for the festival. Three days with different focuses: Saturday family and dancing, Sunday music and free beer, Monday flea market.

Saturday, May 23rd: Family Festival and DJ Chico

Pentecost Saturday starts at 2 PM with the market, and from 3 PM, the family festival begins with activities for children and parents, a bouncy castle, children's games, and food stalls. From 7 PM, DJ Chico will play dance music, transforming the Geidenhof into an open-air dance floor. A varied start to the Pentecost weekend.

Sunday, May 24th: Brackel Brass Orchestra and Free Beer

Pentecost Sunday opens at 12 PM. The renowned Brackel Brass Orchestra will give a concert in the afternoon with classical and folk brass music, musically enhancing the atmosphere of the Pfingstmarkt.

Monday, May 25th: Large Flea Market
