Wels – Welser Autumn Fair 2027
What to expect
Welser Autumn Fair 2027 takes place from Thursday, 16 September to Sunday, 19 September 2027 at the Festwiese of Messe Wels. For four days, this traditional fair combines rides, food and music in Wels, Upper Austria. The organiser, Messe Wels, has published these dates for the autumn edition 2027 in its events calendar.
Welser Autumn Fair 2027: Official dates
From 16 to 19 September 2027, the Festwiese in Wels is all about the autumn fair. Messe Wels lists this edition as a separate September event, while the spring fair takes place from 2 to 4 April. The two fairs are part of the same event series, but are separate seasonal dates. A regional tourism overview also lists 3 September as the autumn date. For this listing, the current calendar published by the organiser, Messe Wels, is authoritative. This helps you avoid travelling for a date that may be out of date.
Festwiese and amusement park at the exhibition centre
The venue is the Festwiese at Messe Wels, Messeplatz 1. A traditional amusement park has been part of the Welser fair for many years. There are also family activities, food and drink, and social areas. So the autumn fair is not just a meeting place for thrill rides, but also somewhere to enjoy a stroll together. The new site map will show exactly which areas and entrances 2027 are in use. The address listed in the calendar serves as a central reference point for your journey.
Welser Autumn Fair 2027: Rides for families and fans
Previous Welser fairs have featured classic fairground attractions, children's rides and changing new additions. In autumn 2026, there were reports and photos of individual rides. However, this does not provide a reliable line-up of rides for September 2027. We therefore deliberately do not name any showmen as confirmed here. Once the organiser publishes a new list or specific reports relating to 2027 are available, the relevant attraction profiles can be added. This lets you see which rides have actually been announced.
Music, traditional dress and fairground food
The festival tent atmosphere, music and regional specialities have traditionally been part of the Welser fair. In previous years, there have been events such as a night of traditional dress, a ceremonial beer tapping, music groups and family activities. These elements give the fair its distinctive character. Individual performances and times for 2027 have not yet been confirmed. A test lighting is also mentioned in the exhibition calendar, but the weekday given there does not match calendar 2027. We are therefore not listing any unconfirmed programme item with a time for now.
Admission, opening times and planning your visit
Tourism information states that entry to the Welser Autumn Fair grounds is free. Rides, food and drinks are paid for separately. The daily opening and closing times specifically for 2027 have not yet been fully announced. The MEC schedule therefore does not include any invented times for now. Once Messe Wels publishes the confirmed times, they can be added accurately for Thursday to Sunday. If you are visiting with children, it will then be worth checking for family activities and the operating times of the individual rides.
