On 29 August from 11:00 to 17:00, Gekke Zaterdag aan Zee mixes old crafts, a beachcombers’ market, local shops and a plug-free funfair.
What you need to know
A harbour market built only around discounts soon resembles every other shopping street. Gekke Zaterdag aan Zee in Delfzijl adds old-craft demonstrations, a juttersmarkt, a braderie and fairground attractions operating without electrical plugs. From 11:00 to 17:00 on 29 August, local commerce and memories of manual coastal work share Landstraat and the city centre. Admission is free. “Plug-free” is more than decoration: it shows how entertainment once depended on mechanics, physical effort and an operator. Families can put shopping second, watching one craft process before choosing a ride. Free entry still brings crowd pressure after midday, while coastal wind, rain and parking can change how long the visit remains pleasant.
- The event runs 11:00–17:00 on 29 August.
- Admission is free in Landstraat and central Delfzijl.
- Expect old crafts, a juttersmarkt, braderie and plug-free attractions.
- Check coastal weather, transport and the latest official update.
Hokimi field note: Arrive in the morning for demonstrations and market browsing, then shop later. Give children a small fixed budget so choosing replaces endless impulse buying.
