Breckerfeld – Jakobuskirmes 2027
What to expect
Jakobuskirmes Breckerfeld 2027: Expected to run from Friday, 23 July, to Monday, 26 July 2027, Breckerfeld celebrates its traditional Jakobuskirmes. The Hanseatic town describes the last full weekend in July as the regular event date. The Junggesellen-Schützenfest also takes place at the same time. A new announcement with specific programme times for 2027 has not yet been published. The exact festival plans therefore remain provisional.
Jakobuskirmes Breckerfeld 2027: Event location
The funfair site is in the heart of Breckerfeld's historic centre. Stalls and rides are set up around the market square, Windmühlenstraße and other streets. Local shops and historic buildings provide the backdrop for a fair with short walking distances. The large festival tent of the Junggesellen-Schützenverein traditionally stands in the market square. However, the funfair itself also extends over other areas, so you can plan a walk through several streets.
Rides and showmen
The town has announced showmen with rides and amusement stalls for the event. Previous editions have featured various family attractions, traditional carousels and game stalls. Which attractions will actually be coming in 2027 has not yet been confirmed in an official current line-up of rides. We therefore do not list any rides from previous years as confirmed bookings. The combination of the funfair and town centre is especially convenient for a day out with children.
Funfair food and family activities
A Jakobuskirmes features sweet and savoury funfair treats. Drinks stalls and food stands also invite you to stop for a while. The marksmen's festival taking place alongside it offers further opportunities to celebrate together. The festival tent days are a separate event within the weekend, so different conditions may apply to specific festival tent activities than to free access to the funfair streets. You can therefore stroll around the site even if you are not taking part in the marksmen's festival programme.
Jakobuskirmes Breckerfeld 2027: Dates and opening hours
The period from Friday, 23 July, to Monday, 26 July 2027 follows the familiar four-day schedule around the last full weekend in July. The daily operating hours for the rides at the new edition have not yet been fully confirmed. There is also no sufficiently substantiated official schedule for all days in 2026. We therefore do not show made-up opening hours. The organiser has not yet published the funfair leaflet valid for 2027.
Tradition and special highlights
The town describes a set programme of traditional events. On Friday, the bells of the two St James's churches ring in the funfair. The Junggesellen-Schützenfest also begins with a celebration in the festival tent. Saturday traditionally features the king's shooting competition and processions. According to the town, the funfair ends on Monday evening with fireworks. No specific times for these events in 2027 have been published yet, so we have not listed these traditions as individually confirmed programme items.
Admission and getting there
The market square on Windmühlenstraße, 58339 Breckerfeld, is a useful landmark. The event areas are spread across the town centre. There may be road closures due to processions, particularly during the marksmen's festival. You should therefore check local parking information or look into available bus services to the town centre. Access to individual car parks may also be restricted during the funfair.
