Tips & Advice

  • Park at the Hofmansweide on Hofmansstraat, which is close to the market, so your car is only a short walk away after the market and the afterparty.
  • If you come by bike, use the bike parking at the start of the market rather than wheeling your bike between the stalls.
  • Head to the Santa photo spot with the kids, where they can have their picture taken with Santa and a few of his elves.
  • Stay on after the stalls close for the afterparty with live music at the motorclub clubhouse, which is open to everyone.
  • If you want a stall, email the organisers about your products early, since they don't read their mail daily and replies can take some time.

Special Events & Promotions

  • After the market, the motorclub's clubhouse on Imminkservestraat hosts an afterparty with live music that's open to everyone.
