The Cheese Market Edam is a seasonal recreation of a historical cheese market that originally operated from 1526 to 1922, and was revived in 1989. Held primarily as a tourist attraction, the market features demonstrations of cheese trading, complete with costumed vendors and a brass band. While the traditional cheese auction no longer takes place, visitors can enjoy the spectacle, purchase cheese and other local products, and explore the picturesque town of Edam. The market is held on Wednesdays and Saturdays during the summer months.
The Cheese Market Edam is best suited for families, couples, and individuals interested in Dutch culture, history, and cheese. It's a good option for those seeking a charming and entertaining experience.
Summer (July-August) for the full market demonstration experience.
Wednesday or Saturday during the summer months (July and August). Morning, ideally arriving before 10:00 AM to secure a seat.
Edam's town center, where the market is held, features cobblestone streets which can be challenging for those with mobility issues. The market area itself is relatively flat, but navigating the surrounding streets may require assistance. Limited seating is available, and it is not always accessible.
The market demonstration is visually engaging for children, with costumes and music. However, it can be crowded, and keeping track of young children may be difficult. Stroller access is limited due to cobblestone streets.
Pets are generally allowed in Edam, but may not be permitted in all shops or restaurants. Check with individual establishments.
Various food stalls are present at the market, offering local produce, baked goods, and snacks. Several cafes and restaurants are located in Edam's town center. Restrooms are available, but may be limited.
