Colmar Easter and Springtime Market

Land of celebrations and traditions

While Alsace is mostly known for its Christmas traditions over the month of December, with its traditional Christmas markets, there are other, non-secular celebrations and events in its cultural calendar which are equally celebrated: Springtime and Easter.

Colmar Springtime and Easter Market

For three weeks, Colmar locals come together to mark the arrival of the warmer season, whilst also celebrating Easter and decorating their town. Colmar becomes a living, breathing theatre, with the city's blooming parks and gardens becoming home to the "Osterhase" (Easter bunny). Hens and their chicks fill the banks of the River Lauch, another affluent of the River Ill, and the budding foliage of trees are decorated with eggs in bright and joyful colours.

Springtime strolls in search of authenticity…

As winter gives way to springtime, the chalets of the Christmas Market are replaced by small huts, adorned with Easter and Springtime decorations. Set up in the heart of the city, there are two markets held in honour of these celebrations: One in the Place de Dominicains and the other in the Place de l'Ancienne Douane. Real gems in the history of this town, these two places with their pop-up stalls offer a unique setting for a shopping spree, where you're sure to pick up some unexpected but incredible finds.
Picked out for their "artisan sincerity", the finest craftsmen from around the region come together to show off the beauty, innovation and ingenuity of their wares.
