In addition to the horse market, there is also a four-kilometre-long goods market with everything from clothing to home accessories and delicacies.
Zuidlaren doesn’t just make it a holiday, because last week the fair started on Friday. There was also a running event, fireworks show and of course a party with live music.
Also traditional, especially in North Drenthe, is that the stove in the house is only allowed to be turned on after the Zuidlaardermarkt. It is not known whether people still adhere to this today.
In any case, today will be an autumnal day with some wind and the chance of rain, but that will not be a problem for many residents of Zuidlaren.
