Bergisch Gladbach Whitsun Funfair 2027: Venue and date
In the heart of the city, Konrad-Adenauer-Platz becomes a meeting place for families, funfair fans and showmen. The site also includes the areas around the Bergischer Löwe and Forumpark. The city organises the event together with the showmen. That is why routes, the layout of the site and the selection of attractions are important parts of the preparations. A final site map for 2027 has not yet been published.
Rides and stalls in the city centre
The Whitsun funfair traditionally features large rides, children's carousels, game stalls and food stands. The city describes bumper cars, a Ferris wheel, Musik-Express, lottery stalls and confectionery stands as part of the funfair tradition, among other things. However, this is not a confirmed line-up of rides for 2027. The attractions that will actually be there will only be known once the official list of businesses or site map is available. So it is worth checking the announcements again before your visit.
