Dürkheim Sausage Market
Every year on the second and third weekends in September, hundreds of thousands of people stream towards Bad Dürkheim. It’s the Sausage Market: the biggest wine festival in the world, directly in front of the largest wine barrel in the world! A central theme: wine, of course! The centerpiece of the Sausage Market are the “Schubkärchler”, historic wine tents each of which can be occupied by up to 120 wine lovers. And of course, the Sausage Market is true to its name: all traditional Palatinate specialties are offered.
