Butzbach – Katharinenmarkt 2027

The Katharinenmarkt Butzbach 2027 is expected to take place from Saturday, 23 October to Tuesday, 26 October 2027. The date follows the annual pattern of previous Butzbach Katharinenmärkte; the city has not yet issued its own confirmation for 2027. The historic market square and Landgrafenschloss feature rides, market stalls and food and drink as part of the autumn fair. This lets you combine a stroll around the town with a visit to a traditional fair.

Katharinenmarkt Butzbach 2027: two festival sites

The city of Butzbach has held its Katharinenmarkt for many centuries. More recently, the fair has once again spread across Marktplatz and Schlossplatz, including the courtyard of Landgrafenschloss. This brings modern showman attractions together with the historic setting of the Wetterau region. The organisers describe the market as a mix of market stalls, rides and activities for different age groups. The market is also traditionally a meeting place for families from the region.

Rides, traders and food and drink

The Katharinenmarkt usually features carousels for children, rides for teenagers and adults, and traditional games and stalls. There are also sweets, snack stands and drinks outlets. The individual rides that will be at the castle grounds or on Marktplatz 2027 have not yet been officially announced. For this reason, showmen from 2026 are not listed as confirmed attractions for the new edition. An up-to-date site plan will help you find your way around later.
