What to expect

Neukloster Whitsun Market 2027: The traditional Whitsun market in Buxtehude-Neukloster is expected to take place from Saturday, 15 May, to Whit Monday, 17 May 2027. The dates follow the usual pattern, from Whitsun Saturday to Whit Monday. The Neukloster local history association has not yet issued a separate official confirmation for 2027.

Neukloster Whitsun Market 2027, right by the B 73

The Whitsun market site on Cuxhavener Straße is in the Neukloster district of Buxtehude. For generations, this fair has been a meeting place for people from Stade district and the southern outskirts of Hamburg. It is organised by the Neukloster local history association. The market is also one of the north's most long-standing Whitsun festivals.

The rows of stalls stretch across a large festival site and neighbouring areas along the federal road 73. The mix of funfair, stalls and sociable get-togethers makes a visit particularly appealing. Previous editions featured more than 130 showmen and traders, as well as a long row of stalls. The exact scale of the 2027 edition remains to be seen.

Rides and attractions for the whole family

A Ferris wheel, bumper cars, family rides, game stalls and food stands are all part of the typical Whitsun market scene. You can explore the different attractions and enjoy the special fairground atmosphere even without going on a ride. There are also often sweets, roasted almonds, savoury food and traditional prize stalls.

No new official line-up of rides has confirmed which showmen and rides will actually be there for 2027. We therefore do not list any attractions from previous years as confirmed. Unusual rides and new attractions will also be added only once they have been announced.

Neukloster Whitsun Market 2027: Dates and opening times

The provisional market dates are from Saturday, 15 May, to Monday, 17 May 2027. Previous editions show that opening times can vary from one market day to another. However, no complete official schedule has been published for 2027. Opening times are therefore omitted for now, so that unconfirmed hours are not presented as definite.

Festival tent, church service and Whitsun traditions

The local history association and its volunteers are an important part of the Whitsun market. Previous years have featured a large festival tent and musical entertainment. A church service was also traditionally held in the festival tent on Whit Monday. Specific programme times and events for 2027 have not yet been announced, so these are not listed as confirmed programme items.

Admission and getting to Neukloster

Admission to the public market site has been free in previous years, while you pay separately for rides, games and food. The visitor address is Cuxhavener Straße 119, 21614 Buxtehude. You can reach the district by car via the B 73; expect traffic and parking restrictions due to the large number of visitors. See more dates in our funfair finder.

The Neukloster local history association is the organiser and the point of contact for official programme details announced later.
