Colorful diversity at the 23rd Spreewald Crafts and Farmers' Market in Burg!

On the weekend of July 12th and 13th, 2025, Burg im Spreewald will be the venue for the 23rd Spreewald Crafts and Farmers Market. On these days, the festival site in Burg, also known as Bórkowy (Błota), turns into a lively place where around 35 exhibitors present traditional crafts and regional products. The market has developed an excellent reputation in recent years and attracts visitors from near and far. Niederlausitz Current reports that the exhibitors offer a wide range of crafts from blacksmiths to stonemasons. Here you can buy, for example, fresh fruit and vegetables, farmer's bread, honey and linseed oil.

The supporting program ensures that there is something for every taste. Throughout the day, visitors can not only stroll through the stalls, but also listen to regional music performed by groups such as the Lindenmusikanten and the Ströbitzer Musikanten. There is a varied offer for younger guests, including pony rides and a bouncy castle. Parents and children can spend a wonderful day together in the Spreewald.

Get to know tradition

The insights you gain into traditional techniques and crafts are particularly interesting. Demonstrations such as blacksmithing, pottery and linseed oil production are on the program. On July 12th from 2 p.m., the local history and traditional costume association will also show how flax is processed, harvest crowns are tied and haystacks are packed. An exciting experience that not only brings the craft but also the culture of the Spreewald to life.

The performances by the Bertians, the Femella children's dance group and the singing Spreewald host Günni are just some of the highlights on Saturday. Sunday begins with a morning pint, where the Ströbitzer musicians ensure a good atmosphere. Performances by various traditional costume groups from the traditional club are also offered. The fire brigade museum at the festival site is open on both days and offers a further insight into local history.

An activity-packed weekend

The market is open on both days from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and entry is free. That's a good reason to make your way to Burg! For anyone who can't get enough of art and crafts, the Burger Pottery Market on July 26th and 27th is also worth a visit, followed by the Long Night of Arts and Crafts on August 2nd, which presents a colorful range of creative items from 6 p.m. to midnight.
