Seasonal markets

Throughout the year, you can find fantastic seasonal markets in the vicinity of Van der Valk Hotel Sassenheim - Leiden. Here, you can enjoy shopping at the atmospheric stalls offering jewelry, home accessories, men's and women's fashion, as well as various souvenirs or seasonal products. In spring, when the Flower Bulb Region is in bloom and the Keukenhof reopens its doors, the world-famous Flower Parade takes place annually. During that week, there are fun parade markets that are definitely worth a visit! In addition, many charming Christmas markets are scheduled in the region during the winter.

The seasonal markets organized outside the weekly tourist markets in the region take place annually on varying dates. Check out our activity calendar for an up-to-date overview of the seasonal markets during your stay!
