Speyer Farmers' Market

31 Years of Speyer Farmers' Market

The 31st edition in 2026 underscores the long tradition of the Speyer Farmers' Market. What began in 1995 as a small direct marketer market has developed into one of the most important regional market events in the Palatinate. The market serves as a showcase for Palatinate agriculture and a meeting point for producers and consumers.

Over 70 Exhibitors from the Palatinate and Speyer

Over 70 exhibitors set up their stalls on Maximilianstraße between Domplatz and Heydenreichstraße. The product range covers the full spectrum of Palatinate produce: fruit and vegetables from farm gardens in the Vorderpfalz, cheese from small dairies and sheep farms, sausages from regional butchers, bread and baked goods from farm bakeries, honey from regional beekeepers, wine and sparkling wine from Palatinate wineries, cut flowers and plants. In addition, craftspeople working with wood, ceramics, and textiles present their creations.

Living Agriculture

What distinguishes the Speyer Farmers' Market from a pure direct sales event is its demonstration and accompanying program. Farmers showcase their animals — cows, sheep, goats, poultry — present harvesting machinery, and conduct demonstrations. Regional music groups perform throughout the day, straw figures decorate the pedestrian zone, and children can participate at several stations — petting animals, trying out equipment, and learning about agriculture at interactive stations.

Sunday Shopping

Sunday, September 20th, 2026, is also a Sunday with open shops in Speyer's city center. From 1 pm to 6 pm, shops between Altpörtel and the Cathedral will be open, while the Farmers' Market runs all day. This combination traditionally attracts a large audience from the entire Rhine-Neckar region.
