Markthal hosted the Markthal VrijMiBo - Mexicaanse afsluiter in Rotterdam on 25 September 2026. The listed programme brought a Mexican trio to the covered market, with two guitarists and a singer who also plays the violin.
The event has now ended, but its setting remains significant for visitors exploring the city centre. Markthal combines a food market with housing, placing a live music programme inside one of Rotterdam’s most recognisable modern buildings.
Markthal VrijMiBo brought Mexican music on 25 September
The event listing described the 25 September 2026 programme as the closing edition of the September Friday afternoon drinks. It identified De Markthal as the venue and promised a Mexican trio made up of two guitarists and a singer who also plays the violin.
The listing placed the programme within the building rather than at a separate concert venue. That link matters for travellers because the event connected live performance with the market’s food stalls and hospitality businesses, rather than presenting a standalone music show elsewhere in Rotterdam.
The Rotterdam event listing records the date, venue and musical format. The operator’s website gives the building’s address as Ds. Jan Scharpstraat 298, 3011 GZ Rotterdam.
Markthal connects the event with Rotterdam architecture
The building is a covered food market and housing development designed by Dutch architecture practice MVRDV. It opened in Rotterdam city centre on 1 October 2014 after five years of construction.
Its arched form places the public market beneath apartments, while large glazed end walls enclose the interior. The combination makes the 25 September programme more than a generic city-centre concert: the musicians were scheduled inside a building whose main public function is food retail.
The market contains fresh produce stalls, hospitality and retail units, while the upper storeys contain homes. A large interior mural by Arno Coenen and Iris Roskam covers the inside of the arch, giving the event setting a prominent architectural and artistic backdrop.
Dezeen’s contemporary opening report describes the MVRDV-designed market hall as both a covered food market and a residential building. The operator’s official Markthal page confirms the Rotterdam address and its food-focused identity.
Visiting Markthal: what travellers from Western Europe should know
- The Markthal VrijMiBo - Mexicaanse afsluiter took place on 25 September 2026 at Markthal in Rotterdam. That event date has passed.
- The event listing described a Mexican trio, with two guitarists and a singer who also plays the violin. No current performance is listed here for after 25 September 2026.
- The venue is at Ds. Jan Scharpstraat 298, 3011 GZ Rotterdam, in the city centre. The building combines the market with apartments above it.
- The interior is defined by a large arch, glazed end walls and a mural covering the inside of the arch. These features form the setting for the building’s public market space.
For travellers, the practical conclusion is clear: the Mexican VrijMiBo was a recent, place-specific programme, not a continuing attraction after 25 September 2026. Markthal itself remains a food market and residential building in central Rotterdam.
