“Eduard, butz do Bart, z'Dorobiro ischt Martinimart!” is the motto for the 48th time on Friday, November 7, at the nostalgically decorated Dornbirn market square.
The Martinimarkt begins at 8:48 a.m. with the traditional meeting place for everyone dressed in traditional costume in the Stadtmuseumspark. Guests can get in the mood for the festive day in a cozy atmosphere with free Riebel, coffee, and a glass of sparkling wine. Musical accompaniment is provided by the “Süasslar Trio,” which sets a cheerful mood early in the morning. At 9:49 a.m., the joint procession begins to the steps of the Red House, where Mayor Markus Fäßler officially opens the Martinimarkt at 10:00 a.m.
A celebration of charity
The Martinimarkt commemorates St. Martin, who shared his cloak with a freezing beggar. The Martinimarkt was created many years ago based on this idea. The spirit of charity is reflected in the activities of many clubs and schools, which sell their products for charitable purposes.
Culinary delights
The gastronomic highlights of the Martinimarkt include traditional home-style cooking such as Riebel, Schupfnudeln, Krautspätzle, bratwurst, and much more. Visitors can also enjoy the first mulled cider or non-alcoholic punch of the season. Roasted almonds and chestnuts round off the autumnal offerings.
Musical entertainment
On the nostalgia stage in front of the church, the Süasslar Trio, the Bauernkapelle band, and Bebe Jukes will be providing entertainment until 8:00 p.m. At 2:00 p.m., the Vorarlberg Traditional Costume Association will be showcasing its most beautiful traditional costumes. There's also something for children: the popular Ganslexpress or the nostalgic carousel in the Europapassage. Capturing memories Guests can take nostalgic souvenir photos at the photo booth in the Stadtmuseumspark until 4:00 p.m.
