Wagenfeld Spring Market

Wagenfeld – Rural Community with a Vibrant Life

The municipality of Wagenfeld is located on the southern edge of the Diepholz district, in the transitional region to the Nienburg district. With around 6,000 inhabitants, the municipality boasts a lively club life, active retail sector, and a strong tradition of shooting clubs (Schützenwesen). The Spring Market is one of the most important municipal events of the year.

Main Street as Festival Ground

For the market, the main street between the Kreissparkasse and the Brauhaus/HandWerkLich will be closed – an intervention that underscores the central location of the festival and makes it accessible to all residents on foot.

Large Car Mile

A focal point of the Wagenfeld Spring Market is the car mile. Local and regional car dealerships present new vehicles, demonstration cars, and selected used cars. For many Wagenfeld residents, the Spring Market is traditionally the time to gather information about potential new car purchases – without the stress of a big-city dealership.

Sunday Shopping

On Sunday, April 19, 2026, local shops will be open. From fashion boutiques to pharmacies, bakeries, and butchers – anyone looking for a relaxed Sunday stroll combined with shopping will find ideal conditions.

Brauhaus and HandWerkLich

The local brewery (Brauhaus) and the workshop-based gastronomy HandWerkLich serve as anchor locations and are part of the festival. Both offer refreshments and contribute to the market's character with local beer culture and diverse culinary options.

Opening Hours

The market runs for two days:

• Saturday, April 18: 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM
• Sunday, April 19: 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM

Families and Sociability

The program is family-friendly. Children will find carousels, snack stands, and play areas at the market. Parents, grandparents, and friends meet at the market – a typical Lower Saxon village festival where social gathering is the main focus.
