11th to 13th October 2013
Weimar Onion Market
The humble onion is the star of the Onion Market held in Weimar every October. These are no ordinary onions lumped together in crates or sacks; these are onions plaited together in the traditional way and decorated with dried flowers of yellow, white or lilac. They come in all sizes too – from tiny ones to a whopping big one.
A long tradition
It was first recorded in 1653 as a “market for beasts and onions" on what is today the Frauenplan, mostly held on a Sunday around 10 October...
On stage
A variety of artists will also be performing – there will be more than 100 performances on the stages within the city. The online program will be published in September.
Parking and more
Parking during Onion Market: beside parking garages in the city centre there will be special designated parking areas with Park&Ride facilities.
