Browse, discover, haggle: The IBO Flea Market brings Bochum to life
On Saturday, September 26, 2026, the Boulevard in downtown Bochum will once again transform into a lively market area full of treasures, vintage finds, and practical rarities. The IBO Flea Market on the Boulevard invites visitors to enjoy a relaxed stroll, searching, and price comparisons.
Market atmosphere in the heart of the city
Surrounding the Kuhhirten Monument, an urban backdrop meets genuine flea market flair. Short conversations, spontaneous discoveries, and this special shopping experience that makes markets so popular emerge between the stalls: close by, direct, and surprising. The flea market is organized by the initiative Bochumer City, or IBO for short, which regularly showcases the Boulevard as a vibrant meeting point.
