Heute fand schon traditionell in Ebenfurth der 2. ***Schmankerlmarkt*** statt, zu dem heuer 44 Aussteller, mehr noch als im Vorjahr, kamen. Bei Sonnenschein ließen sich die Besucher Riesenfleischknödel, Grammelpogatscherl, Feuerflecken und vieles mehr schmecken. Hochqualifizierte Ware gab es bei Sonnentor und dem Gewürzstandl. Aber auch der Schnapsstraße und den Süßspeisen wurde gut zugesprochen.

(gourmet) delicacies market
You can use this with or without Wendy's additional suggestion. Leave out the gourmet part it not perceived high-end/expensive which it shouldn't be in this case.

Actually, I would put "Schmankerlmarkt" in brackets, not an explanation. That's how it's often done. There will always be terms with flavors that are difficult to convey. We still have a responsibility to come up with the "closest possible equivalent". People will want to be able to refer to a place with a short phrase not a lengthy explanation.

local foods & deli(catessen) market
You could use this or any derivatives of this suggestion, which
combines both types of food (i.e. local "rustic/traditional" and more "fine" foods or delicatessen in their actual sense), and then could put Schmankerl in brackets behind, to keep the local term for such foods in the text.
For example: Today Ebenfurth hosted its second local foods & delicatessen (or just deli) market ("Schmankerl"-market)...
Or a simple descriptive rather than one-term solution could be: ...hosted its traditional market for local foods (or specialties) and delicatessen ("Schmankerl") for the second time...

Nicole Schnell
: Absolutely not "deli". "Deli" means Feinkostgeschäft or Feinkostabteilung (Wurst, Käse, Salate) at the supermarket./"Delicatessen" is fine, "Deli" has a different meaning and can not be used synonymously.

Point taken, but I also think because this already is a market we are talking about, deli would also be ok to use here, albeit with the addition of market and not by itself. But I also think delicatessen is better suited.

Ebenfurth liegt in Niederösterreich, nicht in Bayern.
