OCTOBER MARKET
This market tradition, which originated in the early 1500’s, was initially held at Vänern’s southernmost bay, Vassbotten. Close to the town of Brätte, the peasantry from Dalsland and Västergötland, as well as the merchants from the nearest cities sold their wares. Nowadays, this autumn market is called the October market. Large numbers of people come from near and far to visit the annual market, which,
in Trollhättan, takes place on the first Saturday in October. In Vänersborg, it’s held on the last Saturday in October.
