Art and farmers market in Göpfersdorf: enjoyment and creativity combined!

In Göpfersdorf, a small village with just 160 inhabitants in the Altenburger Land, the preliminary planning for a very special event is in full swing. On October 18, 2025, the Art & Farmers Market will take place for the 23rd time, an annual festival that brings the region to life. Between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., the entire village will become a venue for artisans, traders and artists who will present a wide range of offerings. [abg-net] reports that around 100 exhibitors are expected to showcase their regional products and unique works of art.

At this traditional market, organized by the Göpfersdorf support association, the local history association, the Leitermann company and a large number of committed residents, there will be a lot to experience for young and old. Residents open their yards as event venues, creating a family and welcoming atmosphere. In addition to numerous stalls along the village street, which offer a colorful mix of handicrafts and direct marketing, the little ones are also catered for with activities such as face painting and magic.

Attractions and highlights

A very special highlight is the photo exhibition “Traces of the Past”, which will be on display in the church. This exhibition is based on a photography competition run by the support association and impressively expresses the history of the village. In addition, there will be organ concerts at 1 and 3 p.m. that will captivate visitors musically.

The Kunsthof, a central point of the market, offers not only food and drinks, but also live music from Fischer & Friends and the opportunity to admire and purchase various graphics and paintings. If you prefer something hearty, you should head to Hof Leitermann, where Mutzbraten and other grilled specialties await your palate. And the fire department also puts on an entertaining pigeon show at 2 p.m.

There is a wide range of culinary offerings, complemented by regional specialties such as Thuringian sausages, homemade jams, honey and fresh farmer's bread. Many residents and providers do their best and show that they have a good knack for quality. The event not only remains for local residents, but also attracts numerous visitors from the region, which is reflected in an average rating of 5 out of 5 stars on Google My Business [zeitkunst-festival].
