Sunday that is open to the sale: Freudenstadt Arkaden popular in the rain!

The Sunday open in Freudenstadt on October 6, 2025 took place despite adverse weather conditions. A missed weather report predicted a cold front with stormy wind and rain on Saturday from 2 p.m. This made the anticipation dipped a little on weekends. But the arcades in the city offered protection and enabled visitors to a dry stroll, even if the temperatures fell to about nine degrees Celsius. It was particularly gratifying that retailers adapted their offer to the needs of customers.

Despite the rain, the business did not have to hide. The popular products such as orange, plum and blueberry vinegar as well as Christmas liqueurs were very well received, especially in “Vom Fass”. Perfumery Hinker/Beauty also presented its natural fragrances and rare fragrance creations. The Thalia bookstore attracted numerous customers from 1 p.m., and crime novels and children's books were particularly in demand.

Handicrafts and Street Food canceled

If you look at the planned supporting program, there was a bitter disappointment. The event "Handwerk meets Streetfood", which was scheduled for the weekend on the upper market square, had to be canceled due to weather warnings. This event would have given art lovers the opportunity to admire handmade handicrafts from all regions of Germany and to enjoy the diverse range of street food. The event would have rounded off a suitable program for young and old.

The city of Freudenstadt had to decide to cancel at the weekend (October 4th and 5th, 2025) after the forecasts were unpleasant. The aim was to ensure the safety of visitors. Therefore, the 2025 craft market has been postponed indefinitely.
