European, world, and Olympic champions are coming to battle for victories and rankings. The equestrian event in Muenster is one of the oldest German tournaments and enjoys enormous popularity in one of the most important horse-breeding areas in Germany.

For four days in September, Münster becomes a well-mixed cocktail made up of art, culture and "dolce far niente". Illuminations, exhibitions, lounges, live music and the city's many and varied food offerings provide visitors with an intoxicating mix for all the senses.

Muenster's flea market is one of the largest open-air flea markets in Europe and attracts thousands of visitors from home and abroad every year. The large flea market will take place on the Schlossplatz and the bordering promenade.

For the Münsterland region, the 3rd of October is not only a public holiday, it has also become a traditional cycle racing day.

The Send - Münster's biggest carnival and the oldest annual fair in the Münsterland - attracts over a million visitors every year. Around 250 fairground operators from all over Germany come three times a year to present the latest sensations on the Schlossplatz.

Münster's Christmas markets are unique: over 300 stands and festive illumination await the visitors in the wonderful atmosphere of the historical old town. The Christmas market stands are lined up along the market streets like pearls in a chain. They are just a few minutes walk from one another other.
