Darmstadt Arts & Crafts Market

If you are looking for an unusual piece for your home, an original gift or a special piece of jewellery, the traditional Darmstadt arts and crafts market is just the place for you.

 

On the third weekend in August, over 80 artisans will once again present all kinds of works made of wood, glass and ceramics, metal, precious stones, fabric and leather. This year, for the first time, the market will be held on Friedensplatz. Between the Hessisches Landesmuseum and the city centre, there is plenty of space for the stalls and workshops and the exhibitors.

Save the date!

The Darmstadt arts and crafts market always takes place on the 3rd weekend in August.


Make a note of the next date now:
17. + 18. August 2024

If you need a break from strolling through the arts and crafts market, the café-bistro Herzblut & Zinke in the Hessisches Landesmuseum is just the place for you. The wine bar at Herzblut & Zinke is open until 11 pm in the evening.

 

The Schlossgarten - biergarten Ι café Ι bar - on the castle bastion also invites you to relax.

 

It's also just a few steps to the market square, with fine cakes at Café Bormuth, home-brewed beer at Ratskeller, great variety at Café Extrablatt, delicious Italian cuisine at Scoozi, Asian food at MoschMosch or steak & burgers at Django's Restaurant & Bar. What would you like?
