Every year on the first weekend in August, the Oberstein pedestrian zone beneath the Felsenkirche transforms into a colorful and vibrant marketplace. About 50 exhibitors showcase what Idar-Oberstein is known for around the world: fascinating minerals, local agates, contemporary jewelry, and sparkling gems. There will be grinding, hammering, engraving, and polishing, and you can watch the artisans at work. Let yourself be enchanted by the variety of precious items on display and the unique atmosphere of this one-of-a-kind market. You can find all the information at www.schmuck-kultur.com
At the Christus Kirchplatz and in the pedestrian zone, the street theater invites you to marvel, laugh heartily, cheer, and experience bursts of enthusiasm with a diverse program. International www.idar-oberstein.de/strassentheater
