After a two-year break due to corona, the popular Villach Easter market will open next Thursday, April 7th. 15 stands with Easter gifts, decorations, traditional goods and food can be bought there until Holy Saturday. “The Villach Easter market is a tried-and-tested inner-city magnet and a fixed point in the course of the year,” says the city councilor’s market officer Christian Pober (ÖVP). With the colorful children’s program in the area, many families are guaranteed to be here again.
Food blessing at the weekly market
But the weekly Villach markets have also fully adapted to Easter. The weekly market in Villach on the Draulände invites you again – also after the corona-related break – to a fun Easter egg peck tournament. This year it will take place on Wednesday, April 13, from 10 a.m. Nice prizes await the most successful egg peckers. “This year, for the first time, we also organized a blessing of the food on Holy Saturday at 10 a.m. at the weekly market,” announce Pober and Gerfried Hopf, the new chairman of the weekly market association. city priest Richard Pirker will celebrate the meat consecration at the market from 10 a.m.
At the organic farmer’s market on Hans-Gasser-Platz and at the gourmet market on Widmanngasse, the stallholders are also fully geared up for Easter and the spring-like, traditionally hearty offerings.
