Tips & Advice

  • Bring the kids on a Tuesday, because Family Tuesday means reduced fares on the children's carousel that runs every day of the market.
  • Plan a Friday or Saturday evening visit if you want live music, since that's when artists perform on the stage in front of the Old Town Hall.
  • Don't plan a visit for Sunday, November 22, because the market closes for Totensonntag that day.
  • Visit the rotating huts more than once, because different clubs, schools, artists and charities take turns there with waffles, homemade goods and charity projects.
  • If you can't find the right present, pick up a WaldStadtGutschein voucher that can be redeemed at shops in Iserlohn.
