Every week on Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday from 7 AM to 2 PM, the cathedral squares in Mainz transform into a colorful market scene. The Mainz weekly market is one of the most beautiful weekly markets in Germany and invites you to shop in a special atmosphere, stroll around, and enjoy the regional diversity.
Here you will find a large selection of fresh foods and specialties: from crunchy vegetables and fruits from the region to delicious delicacies, bread, cheese, and meats. During the peak season, 20-30 daily stalls complement the offerings, ensuring that seasonal highlights such as asparagus, strawberries, and grapes are not missing.
Mainz Wine Breakfast – Sociability and Enjoyment on Saturday
A very special highlight is the Mainz Wine Breakfast (formerly "Market Breakfast"), which takes place on Saturdays from March to November. Here you can enjoy rolls, sausage, and wine ("Weck, Worscht & Woi") in a relaxed atmosphere while tasting the fine wines of Mainz winemakers. Due to construction work, the event cannot take place as usual at Liebfrauenplatz until approximately 2030. Instead, the wine breakfast will be offered at various locations near the weekly market from 9 AM to 3 PM:
Leichhof: Enjoy Mainz wine with a view of the cathedral. Nearby restaurants ensure your culinary well-being.
Tritonplatz: Centrally located near the Mainz theaters. Here you'll find wine and culinary additions from the market stalls at Gutenbergplatz.
Fischtorplatz (March 15 – October 4, 2025): Wine with a maritime flair and direct views of the Rhine.
Accessibility & Service
The Mainz weekly market is centrally located and very well accessible for wheelchair users. Additionally, event restrooms are available at Bischofsplatz, as well as public restrooms on Badergasse/Augustinerstraße, at Adenauer-Ufer, and near the State Theatre.
