St. Veit an der Glan's Wiesenmarkt combines an old market tradition with ten days of fairground activity, food, commerce and Carinthian custom. The opening procession is one of its defining moments, bringing traditional groups through the city before the market settles into its longer rhythm. Despite its scale, the Krämermarkt and regional traditions keep the event connected to the historic role of these annual markets as points of exchange for surrounding communities.
