Spring Market and Spring Awakening Lüchow 2026

Season Opener in the Wendland

For years, the Lüchow Spring Market has been the traditional start to the season in the Wendland district town — the first major market after winter. From Friday, April 10th, to Sunday, April 12th, 2026, the city center transforms into a festival ground with a street fair character.

Funfair and Market Stalls

The market combines two classic elements:

• Funfair with rides, carousels, shooting galleries — the full spectrum of a Wendland Volksfest (folk festival)
• Market stalls with vendors — textiles, household goods, toys, seasonal products

Spring Awakening on Sunday

Sunday, April 12th, is also the open-shopping Sunday for Lüchow's businesses — the "Spring Awakening". On this day, the program expands:

• Community Mile on Lange Straße: Lüchow associations present their work with activity and information stands
• Open-Shopping Stores: Cafés, boutiques, shops open their doors
• Activities: Special sales, tastings, spring promotions

Proven Three-Day Market

The exact program for 2026 will be published by the organizer in the spring. The structure follows the proven key points of previous years:

• Friday, April 10th: Market opening, funfair operations in the afternoon and evening
• Saturday, April 11th: Weekly market in the morning, funfair and market stalls throughout the day
• Sunday, April 12th: Spring Awakening with open-shopping Sunday and community mile
