A Market Tradition Turns 20
Wallerfangen is located directly on the Saar river in the Saarlouis district and boasts a long history as an industrial town – the Fabrikplatz in front of the town hall is named after the former stoneware and wallpaper factory that shaped the town's appearance. Today, the square serves as a venue, and the annual Flower and Crafts Market is one of the most established spring festivals in Saarland. In 2026, it will celebrate its 20th anniversary.
Opening: Wallerfangen Dances in May
Unlike markets that are purely daytime events, Wallerfangen has established an opening tradition: 'Wallerfangen Dances in May' on Saturday evening from 6:00 PM. The Musikverein Concordia Wallerfangen will play the opening musical set, followed by the band GREYM3N with lively rhythms for the late evening. Culinary offerings include grilled food, beer, and cocktails. Free admission.
Sunday: 70+ Exhibitors
On Sunday, May 3, 2026, the actual market opens from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Over 70 exhibitors will present their goods on Fabrikplatz and along the adjacent streets:
- Flowers and Seedlings – the market's brand identity, in high demand especially before the planting season
- Pottery and Ceramics – regional manufactories
- Jewelry – handmade, often with a Saarland touch
