The Easter Market will be open between 10.00 and 20.00 from 1 to 6 April 2015 - except on Good Friday - and between 10.00 and 18.00 on Easter Monday. Over 70 traders will offer a wide range of goods extending from wickerwork, Easter gift items and ceramics through to bakery products.
Travelling people and handicrafts for children
The Leipzig Easter Fair will be held at the same time as a great shopping and leisure experience for both children and adults. Historical entertainers will continuously play music, perform puppet shows and act out historical market activities every day (except Good Friday) from 11.00 onwards.
The entertainer "Heureka-Leipzig" will take part along with the house band "In Validus" and the primitive knockabout comedy group "Rokus Kokus" who will perform in the tradition of travelling minstrels and actors.
A large Easter egg hunt for children up to the age of 6 is scheduled to take place from 10.00 to 11.00 on Easter Sunday. A large number of eggs will be hidden around the children's climbing dragon "Fridolin" and the Heura boat "Arche Medes". Young and old alike can also attempt to carve wood and soapstone on craft stands.
The regular weekly market will move to Augustusplatz on Tuesday, 31 March 2015 and Thursday, 2 April 2015 on account of the colourful hustle and bustle.
