一年一度的安阳桥古庙会，按照习俗，群众从四面八方赶来逛庙会，折柏枝、游袁林。安阳桥古庙会具有深厚的民俗文化底蕴，它起源于何时已无从考证。辛苦了一年的安阳人利用这一机会，享受着原汁原味传统文化，还可以在庙会上买到很难得的纯手工制作的日用品。
  
    正月十六，一年一度的安阳桥古庙会如期而至，数以万计的群众从四面八方涌来，各种小摊儿像一条条长龙，盘踞在几条街道上，一路的吆喝声、叫卖声、讨价还价声交织在一起，使这一传统庙会热闹非凡。与往年相比，如今的安阳桥古庙会已经成为集商贸交易、科教宣传、技术信息传播等多种内容于一体的大型综合商贸活动，人流量高潮时超过20万人次。
      
    在庙会上看到各种土特产品、民间工艺品、传统风味小吃亮相街头，做工精美、极富民间特色的小风车、小泥人、红缨枪等工艺品深受孩子们的喜爱，煎血糕、内黄灌肠、拌凉粉儿、饸饹面等各色小吃使人们一饱口福，一些商家也趁机大做广告，现场兜售商品，在安阳桥附近的啤酒宣传区，几个品牌的代理商都推出了免费赠饮啤酒的活动，凡是到摊位咨询的市民都可免费品尝啤酒一杯。
      
    在安阳桥附近居住了近30年的冯大妈告诉记者，早些年的安阳桥庙会因缺乏管理而杂乱无章、秩序混乱，一些素质低的人惹是生非，起哄拥挤，甚至往人群里扔鞭炮，造成群众恐慌。近几年，政府加强了对庙会的管理，投入大量人力维护治安，使群众能在祥和的气氛中平平安安逛庙会。
