The Festival Market Starts on 28 April

A Culinary Adventure

Step right up! Surrounding the main festival tent on the Roßmarkt, an incredible diversity of culinary highlights awaits you – all centered around the iconic Grüne Soße (Green Sauce)! 

This is where lovers of the classic dish,  served with potatoes and eggs, find their bliss, and where fans of global cuisine discover their next favorite meal.

Prepare for a feast where Frankfurt’s Grüne Soße proudly showcases its cultural versatility! Whether you crave a juicy steak, potato pancakes, a schnitzel – or if you prefer international fare like falafel, kimchi, samosas – the possibilities are endless!

To quench your thirst, we offer excellent selections of local wine and refreshing Apfelwein (cider) from hand-picked vineyards and cideries, alongside quality beer and non-alcoholic drinks available at our beverage stands.

You can take a break from the feasting to enjoy a dynamic, ever-changing music program during lunch time live on our Market Stage!

The market opens daily from 11:00 to 20:00.

DoubleDylans

The band name alone is a treat: DoubleDylans, often with a “devilish” added before it. In any case, the way they adapt Bob Dylan’s songs is both unique and legendary. “No one plays Dylan like the DoubleDylans. They are Germany’s most extraordinary Bob Dylan cover band.” (Detlef Kinsler)
