De verkopers van tweedehands spullen waren ook dit jaar weer vroeg van de partij om het beste plekje op de Oranjevrijmarkt in Weert te bemachtigen. Al in de vroege middag zaten de eerste mensen langs de singel, gereed om hun overtollige spullen te verkopen.
Om 18.00 uur werd de singel afgesloten. Ondanks dat de vrijmarkt pas om 20.00 uur officieel begon, waren veel verkopers al bezig met het opzetten van hun kraampjes en partytenten. Ook waren er weer stands met lekkernijen, waarvan de eigenaren al eerder mochten opbouwen.
Naarmate de avond vorderde, werd het steeds drukker. Een bergingsdienst moest zich een weg banen door de menigte om een fout geparkeerde auto weg te slepen. Op de Nieuwe Markt was er ook feest, speciaal voor de jeugd, met het evenement “Mamacita“.
Al met al was er genoeg te beleven in Weert, en de sfeer zat er al goed in!
