Warendorf Fat Market

The Fat Market in Warendorf is a traditional festival that has been celebrated for over 365 years. Originally intended as a marketplace for trading in fat cattle, horses, poultry and household appliances, the Fat Market has now developed into a lively event lasting several days with a fair and a large flea market.

The real highlight of the weekend is Fat Market Wednesday. On this day, the old town flea market and the flea and agricultural market attract numerous visitors. Bargain hunters and the curious can browse and discover to their heart's content.

The fair offers varied entertainment for the whole family. With carousels, rides and many attractions, there is something for everyone. On Monday, families can look forward to a special family day with numerous discounts that make the visit even more attractive.

Tuesday is a highlight for the little guests: on Hero Day in the afternoon, children have the opportunity to meet their favorite heroes such as Elsa, Anna, Captain America and Spiderman. The crowning finale of the day is an impressive fireworks display that lights up the night sky.

Of course, culinary delights are also a must. Visitors can try regional specialties such as the traditional “Töttchen” and feast on the wide range of offerings.

The Fettmarkt in Warendorf is not only an opportunity to immerse yourself in the region's rich history, but also a colorful festival that delights with its lively market activity and varied program. A real highlight for young and old!
