The Start of the Funfair Season
The Rostock Easter Market traditionally marks the first big funfair of the year in the Hanseatic city. When it opens its gates, it's clear: spring has arrived. The market mile stretches from the Neuer Markt across Kröpeliner Straße and Universitätsplatz to the medieval Kröpeliner Tor — right through the brick Gothic city center.
Strolling Mile and Market Activity
Around two dozen colorfully decorated stalls form a strolling mile, where you can discover spices, herbs, regional honey from beekeepers, wooden crafts, spirits, homemade advocaat, Easter bouquets and decorations, jewelry, textiles, and leather goods. For culinary delights, it's worth looking out for North German specialties — from smoked fish to Rostock sausage to grilled delicacies.
Rides and Family Program
Several rides, a large walk-through attraction, and classic game stalls ensure good spirits for young and old. A special highlight is a giant Easter egg that children can paint. The Easter Bunny also makes personal appearances on several days — a highlight for the youngest visitors.
Tradition and Showman's Service
The Easter Market also includes a showman's service on Easter Monday — a tradition that demonstrates the close connection between funfairs and the church year in the Hanseatic city. The market thus combines spring-like market activities with living customs.
Easter Market Rostock — edition 2026
