Frenštát Set to Light Up with a Culinary Showdown and Martin Market

On Friday, November 14, 2025, from 12:00 to 22:00, there will be a traditional afternoon event in front of the Martin Market. The event features a competition for the best cookout – a typical seasonal drink from Silesia. This delicious drink is a hot alcoholic beverage infused with spices. In earlier times, residents eagerly anticipated making this warming drink when the weather turned cold. The main ingredients include caramel, cloves, cinnamon, and star anise. To this base, you can add either rum for an extra kick, or some folks prefer to use butter or lard for added richness.

One of the main highlights of Saturday’s Martin Market in Frenštát will be on November 15, 2025, featuring a traditional fair that offers a wide variety of folk products and tasty snacks. Additionally, the event includes the announcement of the competition for the best Martin goose recipe of 2025. The market will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Hours.
