There’s plenty to explore on the fairgrounds of the Bürgerweide as well as at the "Kleinen Freimarkt" (little Freimarkt) in the city centre.
Over 50 different rides appease all tastes and courage levels. Delicious candied apples, lardy cakes, gingerbread hearts, and other culinary delights provide for the ultimate carnival experience.
Smells and Lights are attracting
The Freimarkt has been drawing huge crowds for years now, as the film from the 1960s from the Landesfilmarchiv shows. But Bremen’s fifth season is much older than that – almost 1,000 years old. The first Freimarkt was held in 1035 – making it one of Germany’s oldest fairs. Initially, the Freimarkt was held in Bremen’s historic market square and was a trading market, where farmers, handcraftsmen and tradesmen offered their wares. At today’s Freimarkt you can visit the "Marktdöflein" (little village market) where smithies, masons, and jesters demonstrate what once could be found at the Freimarkt.
