  • Plan an evening visit from Thursday to Saturday, when the market stays open an hour later than on other days.
  • Craftspeople, clubs or schools that want a municipal hut can still apply through the online form, since registration runs on a rolling basis.
  • Dress warmly for browsing the huts and watching the stage program, especially if you stay into the evening.
