Bad Dürkheim farmers market: sun, joy and many satisfied customers!

The farmers' market in Bad Dürkheim started on October 6, 2025 under rather adverse conditions - the rain made for a cloudy start and there was little going on at first. But then the sun came out and suddenly changed the mood. With the sudden change in the weather, the Obermarkt filled up and people streamed into the city. Numerous visitors gathered at the Heissler winery, one of the central locations of the market. The outdoor tables were busy and the mood was consistently positive despite the initial showers. Rhine Palatinate reports of a colorful hustle and bustle and satisfied traders who were doing good business.

But the farmers' market is not only a place for fresh local products, but also a lively event that is supported by the community.

This series of events attracts numerous connoisseurs, especially from April to October. The local vendors offer all sorts of delicacies, and the ambience is further enlivened by the sounds of live music.
