Flea & Antiques market on the banks of the river Rhine in Mainz

Saturday, March 14, 2026, 07:00 – 15:00

Rarities and curiosities
Antiques, knick-knacks, useful items, and perhaps the odd long-sought-after collector’s item can be found at the stalls along the banks of the Rhine in Mainz between Kaisertor and Theodor-Heuss-Brücke, which may only be run by private individuals. This is precisely what gives Mainz’s flea market its special charm. At the children’s flea market, the youngest visitors can sell whatever their hearts desire without paying a stall fee.

Dates for 2026:
Saturday March 14, April 18 & 25, May 2 & 9, June 6 & 27,  July 11 & 25, August 8 & 22, September 5 & 19, October 10 & 24, November 7.

Stand booking via online ticket system and advance sales outlets
Stands are allocated via the online ticket system of ztix GmbH. The desired stand and parking space can be selected from the plan provided and purchased with a binding commitment. The purchase will be confirmed by email and the ticket can be easily printed at home or presented on a mobile device on the day of the event.
Participants without internet access can purchase their tickets at affiliated advance sales outlets, for example at the Mainz Store/Tourist Info (Markt) or at Media Markt (Haifa-Allee).
