Three days of art, music, and children's attractions — April 17 to 19, 2026
When the first warm days arrive in Ammerland, the Rastede Spring Market opens the open-air season on the central Kögel-Willms-Platz. For three days, the market offers a mix of regional crafts, spring floristry, gourmet stalls, and a family-friendly supporting program. The organizer is Residenzort Rastede GmbH, which has established the event as the kick-off for the spring and summer season in the residential town.
The 2026 edition takes place from Friday, April 17, to Sunday, April 19. Opening hours are Friday 3 PM to 8 PM, Saturday 12 PM to 8 PM, and Sunday 11 AM to 6 PM. The program includes arts and crafts, floristry, and a varied stage program. Musical highlights include the Momentum Marching Band Rastede, whose performances will fill the market with brass power.
Children's carousels, activity stalls, and a dedicated children's area make the Spring Market a family outing destination. Food and snack stalls complete the experience, from Flammkuchen to a glass of spring punch at a bistro table.
Rastede, with its historic Palace Park and lively town center, is one of the most attractive places in Ammerland. The Spring Market is part of a packed event calendar, ranging from the International Music Days to the Christmas Village.
The detailed daily program will be published by the organizer shortly before the date on rastede-touristik.de.
Rastede is located directly on the A 29 motorway (Rastede exit). Kögel-Willms-Platz is centrally located in the town center; parking spaces are designated within walking distance. Train connection at Rastede station.
Free admission.
Those who wish to combine the market with a stroll can visit the nearby Rastede Palace Park — the rhododendrons begin to bloom there in April.
