Thousands celebrate at the Hökermarkt in Colnrade despite the rain!

On October 3, 2023, the Hökermarkt in the quiet colnrade in the Oldenburg district experienced an impressive rush. Despite the initial concerns of the organizers about possible rains and their effects on the parking space, the streets filled and showed over 20,000 visitors. This high number shows the great interest and popularity of this traditional event.

Markus Kuraschinski, the 2nd chairman of the organizing association, expressed extremely satisfied with the course of the market in the early afternoon. "All the time" went "well", he emphasized and found that the fears regarding the weather turned out to be unfounded. Only a few vehicles had to be freed in the mud, with special tractors.

efficient organization

The organization of the Hökermarkt worked well. A bus shuttle service has been set up, which was well received by the visitors. This measure not only made access to the market easier, but also reduced the parking problem that can occur with such a high number of visitors.

Events such as the Hökermarkt have a long tradition and attract people from the area and beyond every year. They not only offer a diverse range of goods, but also a place of encounter and exchange. The atmosphere was characterized by happy, interested people who browsed the different stands and offers.

Although there were initially concerns about the weather and the meadows were to be used as a parking lot, it turned out that the preparation and the last steps were carried out perfectly on the day of the event. "Visitors can feel comfortable in this atmospheric ambience, and that's the most important thing," added Kuraschinski.
