The Bremen Freimarkt is a "folk festival". Any applicant may participate in the festival. However, the organizer is entitled to exclude individual applicants from participation for objectively justified reasons. This applies in particular if the available space is insufficient.
Due to the limited space available, only around a quarter of the approximately 1200 applications received each year will be considered for admission. The selection is intended to ensure that the character of the folk festival is preserved and the expectations of the public are met. Furthermore, the quality and variety of the offer should also be guaranteed. To this end, stores of the highest possible quality are selected from the sectors usually represented at folk festivals.
These sectors are represented at the Bremer Freimarkt:
- Rollercoasters
- Delivery warehouses, sign painters etc., fairground suppliers
- Vending machine and grab game businesses
- Bumper cars, go-kart tracks
