Further dates on June 22nd and August 24th / Mayor Akdeniz: "Flea markets promote independence and life skills"
The popular Darmstadt children's flea market season kicks off on Sunday, May 4, 2025, at Friedensplatz. Further dates are Sunday, June 22, and Sunday, August 24. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day, children between the ages of 6 and 14 can sell their used toys, books, clothes, and much more – excluding war toys.
Registration is possible on-site at the stand of the Children and Youth Services, which also handles the allocation of spaces. Participation is free of charge; no stand fees are charged. Tables or clothes racks are not permitted – a blanket or sleeping mat can be brought along as a surface.
Mayor Barbara Akdeniz emphasizes the educational value of the markets: "The children's flea markets promote independence and teach children that they have their place in city life. They learn to negotiate prices, take responsibility, and be more mindful of their possessions – important life skills that are taught in a playful way."
The event is organized by the Children and Youth Services department of the Youth Welfare Office of the City of Darmstadt. Events will be cancelled in case of rain.
