Tips & Advice
- Arrive early, especially on weekends, to fully enjoy the market and avoid crowds, as 10,000 visitors attended per weekend in 2024.
- Bring cash for purchases at individual market stalls, as while some on-site venues are card-only, stall payment methods may vary.
- Check the schedule for specific performance times of musicians and choirs to plan your visit around your favorite holiday tunes.
- Consider attending on a Saturday to experience the longer opening hours and potentially larger crowds, or a Sunday for a slightly more relaxed atmosphere.
- Combine your visit with other winter activities at IJzeren Man, such as ice skating or curling, which are available during IJM's Winterparadijs (December 12, 2025 - January 11, 2026).
