PLEASE NOTE: there will be no market on Easter Monday, April 21, and due to the postponement of King's Day to Saturday, April 26, 2025. There will also be no market on Monday, May 5.
Since 2014, King's Day has usually been celebrated on April 27, the King's birthday, but because of the religious day of rest, this day is never celebrated on a Sunday. This was established in a royal decree by Queen Juliana a week before the inauguration of Beatrix. This year, King's Day falls on a Sunday and the festivities will automatically take place the day before: on SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 2025. Put it in your agenda. The Noordermarkt is open as usual on Saterdays and Monday mornings in between.
Thè Noordermarkt: special trade and a great meeting point for the neighbourhood
For over 400 years (see our newspaper via NIEUWS) there has been a market on the square in front of the Noorderkerk. The market started with second-hand clothing, which can still be found as well as antiques & bric-a-brac. Nowadays, the focus is increasingly on artisanal, handmade products from market traders from different cultures. This gives the Noordermarkt a special atmosphere and a unique offer, which can only be found at this market. The market is a social meeting place for local residents and many domestic tourists. It also functions as a historical attraction for tourists from various directions.
The Noordermarkt is MUCH MORE than just a place to trade goods: the market offers employment for market entrepreneurs. The local shopkeepers and the catering industry in the immediate vicinity of the Noordermarkt benefit from the market's appeal. The economic value of experiencing the atmosphere at the market cannot be assessed in figures alone. The presence of each individual makes a community as a whole stronger and more flexible. People get to know, appreciate and respect each other. This cannot be expressed in money, but an important advantage is that it ensures more social cohesion (we know each other) and safety in the neighbourhood. Come and visit the Noordermarkt soon!
