Fair Mile in Braunschweig: Fairtrade, music, and participatory actions at the Kohlmarkt

Fair Mile in Braunschweig: The Kohlmarkt becomes a meeting point for fairness, music, and participatory moments

On Saturday, September 19, 2026, the Kohlmarkt in Braunschweig will transform into a vibrant market of fair opportunities. From 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, the Fair Mile as part of the Fair Week invites you to not only learn about Fair Trade but to experience it in the heart of the city.

A market that shows stance

The Fair Mile brings together local initiatives, schools, and committed groups that advocate for global justice, sustainable consumption, and fair supply chains. The event experience thrives on the special mix of information, exchange, and direct encounters. As one strolls through the Kohlmarkt, the open atmosphere is quickly palpable: it’s about good ideas, concrete projects, and noticeable engagement in the community.

Participate, try out, discover

The program focuses on participation rather than distance. The Fairtrade AG of Ricarda-Huch School invites you to craft, Enactus brings creative upcycling ideas, and the Nature Friends Youth sends a message for resource-conserving thinking with their offerings. Additionally, a culinary highlight comes from the bicycle kitchen of Futter Teresa. This very mix makes the event a true experience for everyone interested in sustainability, educational work, and a lively city festival.

Music, conversation, and fair trade in the urban space

Musically, the Fair Mile also has a distinct signature. Contributions from the Sing Your Song AG of IGS Franzsches Feld, the West choir, and the jazz band Lucky 7 provide atmosphere and pace for the day. The welcoming address by the mayor and the presence of numerous initiatives show: Here, event management meets social relevance. For one day, the Kohlmarkt will become an open forum for Fair Trade, climate justice, and creative ideas.

Why a visit is worthwhile

The Fair Mile offers a compact, free event experience right in the center of Braunschweig. Anyone interested in market stalls, conversations, music, and sustainable impulses will find an inspiring meeting point with urban flair. A visit is worthwhile for families, school classes, those interested in Fair Trade, and anyone who wants to experience Braunschweig from its engaged side.

Conclusion: The Fair Mile at the Kohlmarkt combines Fair Trade, participatory actions, and live programs for a strong day under the banner of global responsibility. Those who want to experience Braunschweig vividly, consciously, and communally should not miss this date.
