Tirschenreuth — Market Town in the Stiftland

In the Middle Ages, Tirschenreuth was the most important market town in the so-called Stiftland — the region that belonged to the Bishopric of Waldsassen and is now part of the Tirschenreuth district in the Upper Palatinate. Stemming from this historical significance, an official market calendar with four annual markets developed, which is still actively maintained today. Unlike many other small Bavarian towns that have abandoned their markets, Tirschenreuth consistently adheres to this classic format.

The Four Annual Markets 2026

Easter Market on Sunday, April 19, 2026 — Opening of the market season after the long winter months, classic mix of spring garden items, fashion, tools, and household goods
Peter-and-Paul Market on Sunday, June 28, 2026 — Summer market around the patronage festival of Tirschenreuth's town parish church of St. Peter and Paul
Autumn Market on Sunday, September 6, 2026 — Thanksgiving and harvest market with regional specialties
Michaelmas Market (Simon-Judas Market) on Sunday, October 25, 2026 — Last market of the year, traditionally the most important, around the patronage festival of Simon and Jude

Weekly Market and Flea Market Day

In addition to the four annual markets, the weekly market takes place every Thursday from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM in the upper Maximilianplatz — offering agricultural products, garden items, and regional specialties. On Whit Monday, May 25, 2026, Tirschenreuth participates in the statewide Flea Market Day organized by Antenne Bayern: Over 80 private households in the town sell from their driveways and front gardens from 9 AM to 4 PM — a huge decentralized flea market encompassing the entire town.

Late-Night Shopping Events

In 2026, a city-wide late-night shopping event is planned for July, parallel to the Rizzi exhibition. Additionally, individual retailers can open for up to four additional evenings per year on weekdays from 8:00 PM to 12:00 AM — registration with the citizens' office is required.
