Ready for the free market on King's Day 2026 in Rotterdam? If there's one thing King's Day is known for (besides Willem's birthday), it's selling stuff. The city is full of streets covered with toys, accessories, clothes, crockery and more.
But besides having fun browsing around, you can of course also choose to sell your own belongings.
You have two different options for this: apply for your own market stall or lay out a blanket at one of the designated spots. Both are great, depending on what suits you best!
There is an option to apply for your own stall during the King’s Day free market. This year, this is possible at the Binnenrotte. Would you like to register? You can do so via the Municipality of Rotterdam website.
The other option is to lay out your own blanket. There is no need to register with the municipality for this—easy! It’s also ideal if you don’t plan to stay too long, for example because you want to head off to some King’s Day parties.
There are several places in Rotterdam City Centre where you can set up your blanket during the free market. Here are the locations:
At these spots, countless people will wander around and give the items on your blanket a new home! Would you like to set up outside the city centre? That’s perfectly fine! There are no designated areas for this, so just roll out your blanket and clear out your attic.
Will we see you in #RotterdamCentrum on King’s Day?!
