St. Martin's parades 2025: St. Martin moves through Saarland!
The traditional St. Martin's Day begins in Saarland on November 9th, 2025. This year, the parades with St. Martin ride through the communities on horseback, accompanied by glowing lanterns and singing children and parents. The St. Martin's parades take place around November 11th, a custom that particularly appeals to children and contributes to the community.
This year, the St. Martin's Day parades will take place without the restrictions that were imposed in the past by Corona. There is no longer a 3G rule or mask requirement outdoors, which makes it easier for many families to take part in the celebrations. According to the Saarbrücken newspaper Visitors can look forward to a variety of parades in different regions of Saarland.
