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

in Hanover is a unique double event at the door, which 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 are combined in downtown Hanover. While the flea market, one of the oldest in Germany, has been establishing its stands since 1967, the Fête de la Musique is becoming increasingly popular, which has also been celebrated in Hanover since 2008. az-online.de reports that…

The old town flea market on the Hohen Ufer promises a colorful potpourri from antique junk, rarities and curiosities again this year. Over 200 retailers offer their treasures from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. On June 21, the event will be supplemented by a special focus on musical articles, for everyone who is looking for records, vintage player or old musical instruments.

Fête de la Musique: Music for everyone

parallel to the flea market, the Fête de la Musique will take place in almost 40 locations in the city center from 1 p.m. to 11 p.m. This worldwide celebration of the music invites everyone to enjoy numerous musical genres. There is something for every taste from jazz to rock to electric. Around 800 musicians will play the stages. Admission is free and the variety ranges from street musicians to professional ensembles.

The organizers have put a lot of effort into it: a total of 33 stages, in and outdoor, ensure a lively atmosphere. A very special highlight is the premiere of the Fête de la Danse, which can come up with a non-stop program in the goseriede and 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 is celebrated with 19 choirs at Opera Square.

With so much music, the cultural diversity has not been neglected. At the Kröpcke, Women* in Music Hannover (W* IM) will present many talents with a purely female line-up. And for the little ones there are clowning, stories and workshops for instrument construction at Hannah-Arendt-Platz.

a festival for all senses

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