The Onion fair in Weimar takes place every October, on the second weekend, and onions are the stars. You can try onion soups and flans, but also enjoy attractive onion festival decorations. Remember, even though it is decoration, it is eatable!

The Onion fair in Weimar lasts for three days, and features live music shows and an onion race on the second day of the festival.

It is Thuringia’s biggest fair which even has its queen – A queen of Onions. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the fair where Goethe was a regular guest for many years.
