Horse market in Soest: Thousands celebrate at the All Saints' Fair!
On November 7th, 2025, the historic old town of Soest had a very special date in the calendar: the All Saints' Fair celebrated its highlight with the traditional horse market, which attracted numerous visitors. Circles of friends and company employees in particular used the day for shared celebrations and experiences. The celebrations lasted until well after midday, and the streets were densely populated with guests enjoying the hustle and bustle to the fullest. A real spectacle for young and old that put the city in a festive mood.
The event began on Wednesday, November 5th, 2025 and will be celebrated until November 9th. The fair opened with a celebratory Jägerken greeting at 2 p.m. The horse market on the old cattle market site, which started on Thursday, November 6th, was also very popular and added to the festive atmosphere. The combination of traditional horse market and modern fair fun is the heart of this festival, which has been taking place in Soest since 1338.
Diverse attractions and fiery highlights
Friday, November 7th, was all about families: “Happy Friday” offered reduced prices until 8 p.m. The highlight of the evening will be the big fireworks display at 9 p.m., which will illuminate the night sky over Soest in bright colors. The fair also offers spectacular large rides, ghost trains and the nostalgic chain carousels. Visitors of all ages can also look forward to numerous games and sales stalls set up throughout the festival grounds.
It is advisable to use public transport to get there, as parking options on site are limited. Free Park+Ride buses are available every 15 minutes to large car parks on the outskirts of the city. There are also guarded bicycle parking spaces at the edge of the fair for cyclists.
A festival with tradition and future
The All Saints' Fair is not only a folk festival, but also a piece of history that is rooted in the region. Originally a cattle market, the festival has developed into a colorful fair that both keeps tradition alive and integrates modern elements. The last days of the fair, which will end on Sunday, November 9th at 10 p.m., promise to be very popular once again and attract visitors to the old town.
