With the exception of Good Friday (when it is closed), from Wednesday 17 April until Easter Monday 22 April 2019 around 85 traders offer a wide range of goods suited to the season and the Easter holidays. In addition to Easter gifts such as wood carvings, toys and flower arrangements, there are also speciality teas, wickerwork, ceramics and bakery products on offer. This year, there is also the opportunity to taste exquisite products from the French gourmet market on Salzgäßchen: cheese from the Pyrenees and Savoy, pastries from Brittany and olives from Provence.
On Easter weekend, you can of course also experience the special flair of the historic Easter Fair. The Marktbühne provides entertainment from 11am with music and puppet shows. Curiosities, jugglers, comedians, musicians and culinary delights attract people to Leipzig city centre. On Easter Sunday from 10 to 11am, children up to the age of six can join the traditional hunt for Easter eggs which have been hidden by the market children in the middle of the market square. They can also try wood and soapstone carving at child-friendly craft stalls
