The traditional town festival on the market square in the Ilm Valley
In 2026, the Stadtilmer Marktfest celebrates its 50th edition – an anniversary that underscores the festival's significance for the small town on the Ilm river. For over fifty years, the Marktfest has evolved into a social meeting point that attracts visitors from far beyond the town limits.
For three days, the Marktplatz Stadtilm transforms into a versatile festival mile: market stalls with regional products, stage program with music, dance, and shows, amusement rides for children, and a wide range of gastronomy. Traders and craftspeople can register with the town at [email protected].
Stadtilm is located in the Ilm-Kreis district in Thuringia, in the heart of the state between Erfurt, Weimar, and Ilmenau. The small town on the Ilm, with around 7,500 inhabitants, has a compact, well-frequented town center with its market square, town hall, and historic old town – the ideal stage for a traditional town festival.
An expanded program is being prepared for the anniversary edition. Detailed program information will be published in advance on stadtilm.com. As in previous years, a mix of market stalls, live music on the main stage, and family activities is expected.
