A City with Four Annual Markets
The city of Waldsassen in the Tirschenreuth district maintains a tradition of four annual markets per year: Josefimarkt on March 15, Walburgismarkt on May 3, Autumn and Harvest Market on September 6, and Maximilianmarkt on October 18. This series spans the year and is a fixed date in the economic and community life of the Stiftstadt (abbey town).
Walburgismarkt – Spring Date
The Walburgismarkt opens the warm market half of the year. Market vendors gather on Johannisplatz with a classic assortment: sweets, flowers, fish specialties, basketry, household items, clothing, and more. The market starts at 8 a.m. and runs all day. It is combined with a Sunday with open shops starting at 1 p.m., so the city's businesses are also open to visitors.
Waldsassen and the Stiftland
Waldsassen is known beyond the region for its Klosterbasilika (abbey basilica) and the former Cistercian monastery, a significant Baroque ensemble with the famous Stiftsbibliothek (abbey library). The city is located in the Stiftland on the border with the Czech Republic (AGS 09377, Tirschenreuth district). The Walburgismarkt combines this tourist-oriented city with a traditional trade format that many generations have known.
Market Vendors Welcome
New market vendors are welcome and can apply at the Waldsassen city office by calling 09632 88-126 or by emailing [email protected].
