Nowadays, it's a major public festival held on the first Wednesday after October 20th, featuring cow shows, a market with hundreds of stalls, a funfair, performances, and an international cyclocross race during the "Nacht van Woerden" the evening before.
It attracts more than 20,000 visitors annually and marks the beginning of autumn, with traditions such as pea soup and a parade of cows and calves.
The market is recognized as part of the intangible cultural heritage of the Netherlands.
