Summer market in Markt Schwaben: Colorful hustle and bustle despite the rain!

July 6, 2025 will be all about the hustle and bustle in Markt Schwaben, where shopping will take place on Sunday. The reason for this is the summer and handicraft market, which unfolds around the market square. Rain or shine, the atmosphere is excellent, even though the sky is mostly slightly rainy today and temperatures reach a pleasant 23°C - an umbrella is therefore almost essential.

What is particularly pleasing is the high number of registrations at the sales stands, which promise a diverse range of offerings. The organizers Peter Kajetan Schmid and Oliver Nowotny have put together a really charming event. The local shops are also open, which offers the opportunity to get some good deals. You can find everything your heart desires here: from everyday goods to jewelry and hand-made handicrafts.

Colorful offerings and delights for every taste

The culinary highlights not only attract gourmets. The food trucks that attract young people offer a wide range of dishes: from hearty sausages and spare ribs to vegan options. Sweet temptations are not neglected either - roasted almonds, chocolate fruits, coffee and cake for the little visitors are also on offer here. The Schweiger Brewery also provides the right refreshment.

This day marks the start of the four-season markets, which offer further opportunities to stroll and enjoy throughout the year. The next dates have already been planned in the calendar, because the next Sunday open for shopping will take place on October 12, 2025 for the autumn market.

Legal framework for Sunday shopping

The regulations for Sunday shopping vary greatly in Germany. In Baden-Württemberg, shops are allowed to open on a total of three Sundays per year, with the exception of Advent Sundays and Easter and Whitsun Sundays. In historical context, shops were open every day until the 19th century, before general Sunday rest was introduced in 1919. Currently, up to four shopping Sundays are allowed per year, provided they are in the public interest, such as cultural events or large markets. This information-rich website provides further details on the legal framework.

There are different legal regulations in Europe: In Greece, shops are largely closed on Sundays, while France and Italy offer more leeway for days when shops are open. Mayors in France can set additional Sundays, and in Italy there are a total of eight Sundays open for shopping with special regulations for large cities.
