August 7, 2026, Grimma Market Square

Grimma's marketplace forms the historical center of the city and is one of the most beautiful squares in the Muldental valley. Surrounded by lovingly restored burgher houses and the magnificent Renaissance town hall, it invites you to stroll, linger, and discover. The square has been the economic and social heart of Grimma since the Middle Ages. The marketplace is also the venue for numerous events. Every Thursday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., the weekly market takes place. From March to October, there is also the Grimmaer Frischemarkt on the third Saturday of the month, as well as the popular evening market with regional products and live music several times a year.
