Ingerslev Boulevard market
Frederikbjerg, 8000 Aarhus C
Wednesday and Saturday are market days on Ingerslev Boulevard.
Twice a week, Ingerslev Boulevard changes character. Where there is normally a wide avenue of trees and cyclists, the boulevard is filled with stalls overflowing with fruit, vegetables, flowers, bread, fish, cheese and local specialties.
The market has been a part of Frederiksbjerg for more than 100 years and is still one of the places where many Aarhusians shop directly with the producers. It is also an ideal place to start a morning with a cup of coffee, some freshly baked bread or a slow walk between the stalls.
Seasonal ingredients and local specialties
The selection at Ingerslev Market changes with the seasons. In spring you will find herbs, flowers and the first Danish vegetables, while summer offers strawberries, new potatoes and stalls full of fresh berries. Later in the year, root vegetables, apples, pumpkins and the autumn harvest take over.
Between the stalls you can buy organic vegetables, freshly baked bread, fish, meat, cheeses, honey, nuts, oils and other local specialties. Several of the stallholders have been part of the market for many years and are happy to share their experience, give tips on cooking or recommend the best seasonal ingredients.
The flower stalls are also a regular feature at the market and change their appearance with the seasons. Whether you come for the week's shopping or a bouquet for the dining table, there is almost always something tempting.
More than a place to shop
For many Aarhusians, the market on Ingerslev Boulevard is a regular part of the week. Some come with a shopping list in hand, while others meet over a cup of coffee, take a walk between the stalls or stop for a chat with the stallholders they have shopped with for many years.
The pace is different than in a supermarket. Here there is time to ask about the ingredients, get good advice along the way or hear what has just arrived. This is one of the reasons why the market attracts students, families with children, pensioners and visitors who want to experience one of Aarhus' most traditional marketplaces.
More than 100 years of market tradition
The market on Ingerslev Boulevard has been part of Frederiksbjerg for more than 100 years. Back then, market traders came to the square with horse-drawn carriages, and the stalls offered vegetables, flowers, eggs and live poultry, among other things.
Much has changed since then, but the market is still a firm tradition in Aarhus. Today, the stallholders come in vans, and the selection ranges from fresh produce to local specialties, but the idea is the same as more than a century ago: to bring producers and customers closer together.
Many of the stallholders have been part of the market for many years, and several families have sold their goods here for generations. This helps to give the market a continuity that is still felt when you walk between the stalls.
