Rhede (Ems) – Rheder Markt 2027
What to expect
Rheder Markt 2027 is expected to take place on Sunday, 19 September, and Monday, 20 September 2027. These two traditional main market days follow the annual pattern. The municipality of Rhede (Ems) has not yet confirmed the dates separately. The market combines a flea market, arts and crafts, livestock trading and funfair attractions. Any possible pre-event programme on Friday or Saturday is not part of the main dates listed here.
Rheder Markt 2027 in the Emsland region of Lower Saxony
Rheder Markt takes place in Rhede (Ems), in the Emsland district. This is explicitly not Rheder Kirmes in Rhede near Bocholt, North Rhine-Westphalia. The market stalls are spread across Kirchstraße, Emsstraße and areas around the Alte Ems. This makes the whole town centre ideal for an extended stroll. In previous years, the event was an important meeting place for residents and visitors from the region.
Flea market, arts and crafts, and agricultural machinery
Sunday is traditionally devoted to various market areas. In 2026, the municipality announced an arts and crafts market at the Alte Ems and a flea market in Kirchstraße and Emsstraße. The programme also included an agricultural and forestry machinery exhibition and vintage vehicles. These events are a characteristic part of Rheder Markt. However, the participants and times for Sunday, 19 September 2027 have yet to be announced.
Rheder Markt 2027: Horse and livestock market
Monday, with its traditional livestock and horse market, is particularly well known. In 2026, the livestock market areas opened early in the morning. As well as horses, the market included small animals, cattle and other livestock. There was also a communal breakfast and an official market opening. The exact layout for Monday, 20 September 2027 has not yet been published. Therefore, no fixed times from previous years have been added as new programme items.
Funfair, music and family attractions
Rheder Markt offers more than traditional market stalls. In previous years, the municipality also reported carousels, music and lively market areas. Earlier programmes also included a medieval camp and equestrian displays. The specific rides or participants coming in 2027 are not yet known. Therefore, no unconfirmed line-up of rides from the previous year has been carried over. The market remains a day out for all generations.
Market admission and opening times
The publicly accessible market and street areas have traditionally been free to enter. However, food, special offers or individual services may incur charges. A complete official timetable for all market areas in 2027 is not yet available. Therefore, no invented overall opening times have been added to the calendar. Please note the different times for each programme area once the municipality publishes them.
Getting to Rhede (Ems)
Kirchstraße in the centre of 26899 Rhede (Ems) is a useful landmark. Emsstraße and the Alte Ems are also important event areas.
