Huge double event in Hanover: flea market meets music festival!

A unique double event is coming up in Hanover that is equally exciting for music and flea market lovers. On Saturday, June 21, 2025, the traditional old town flea market and the international Fête de la Musique will come together in Hanover's city center. While the flea market, one of the oldest in Germany, has been setting up its stalls since 1967, the Fête de la Musique, which has also been celebrated in Hanover since 2008, is enjoying increasing popularity. az-online.de reports that ...

The old town flea market on the Hohen Ufer promises a colorful potpourri of antique bric-a-brac, rarities and curiosities again this year. Over 200 dealers offer their treasures from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. On June 21st, the event will be complemented by a special focus on musical items, for anyone looking for records, vintage players or old musical instruments.

Fête de la Musique: Music for everyone

Parallel to the flea market, the Fête de la Musique will take place from 1 p.m. to 11 p.m. at almost 40 locations in the city center. This global celebration of music invites everyone to enjoy numerous musical genres. From jazz to rock to electro, there is something for every taste. Around 800 musicians will play on the stages. Admission is free and the variety ranges from street musicians to professional ensembles. altstadt-hannover.de provides information about the details of the Fête de la Musique.

The organizers have put in a lot of effort: a total of 33 stages, indoor and outdoor, ensure a lively atmosphere. A very special highlight is the premiere of the Fête de la Danse, which features a non-stop program on the Goseriede and the participation of 26 dance schools. International artists from cities such as Liverpool and Tallin are also expected. In addition, the 75th anniversary of the Lower Saxony Choir Association will be celebrated with 19 choirs at Opernplatz.

With so much music, cultural diversity is not neglected either. At Kröpcke, the Women* in music hannover (w*im) program will present many talents with an all-female line-up. And for the little ones there is clowning, stories and instrument making workshops at Hannah-Arendt-Platz.

A feast for all senses

Both events offer an excellent opportunity to explore Hanover's city center and make new, exciting discoveries. While the old town flea market gives you the opportunity to grab one or two bargains, the Fête de la Musique captivates everyone with its musical sounds. And all in one day! How exciting!
