Kaasmarkt Alkmaar
Market
The cheese market on Waagplein in Alkmaar is a centuries-old tradition dating back to 1593, where cheese carriers in traditional dress and cheese-carrier guilds theatrically weigh and trade large wheels of Gouda and Edam cheese. The spectacle draws around 180,000 visitors a year from home and abroad and only takes place during the season.
