You can find the main fair on the Festplatz Am Ratsweg . This year the fair opens between 3rd -22nd Apr.

The Dippemess dates back to a medieval market called the Maamess. Potters from the Westerwald, Kannebakerland and Urberach also sold their products at the market, especially ceramic bowls and containers.

These are called "Dippe" in the local dialect and over time the name changed to the Dippemess.

• Friday to Saturday 2 p.m. to midnight
