Sint Joep 2023, annual market Sittard, the largest market in the Netherlands!

Tens of thousands of visitors from all over the region and far beyond visit the Sint Joepmarkt in Sittard every year. An annual fair where the men and women of the market sell a colorful collection of products.
The market has been a popular market for over 200 years. The first Sint Joep market was held on March 19, 1803. The mayor of Sittard received permission from Napoleon Bonaparte for this market, which was a cattle market until the end of the 19th century.
The Sint Joepmarkt is not only the first annual market of the year, but also the largest in the Netherlands. More than five kilometers of stalls string themselves together through the historic city center of Sittard. Many of the market vendors advertise their merchandise in an original way. Something that makes this market a very popular event for many visitors!
Sint Joep is a neighborhood in the city of Sittard, which is located in the province of Limburg, in the southeastern part of the Netherlands. The neighborhood is named after the St. Joseph's church, which is a prominent landmark in the area.
Sint Joep is a relatively small residential area, with a mix of older and newer homes. The neighborhood has a community center, a primary school, and several parks and playgrounds. There are also a number of shops and restaurants in the vicinity, particularly on the nearby Steenweg shopping street.
Sittard itself is a historic city with a rich cultural heritage, dating back to the Roman era. It has a beautiful old town with a number of medieval buildings, including the Sittard City Hall and the St. Peter's Church. Sittard is also known for its vibrant cultural scene, with many festivals and events taking place throughout the year, such as the annual Jazz Festival and the Oktoberfest celebrations.
