Helpfau-Uttendorf – Josefimarkt 2027

Josefimarkt 2027 is expected to take place on 13 and 14 March 2027, based on the official annual rule. Here you can find the location, dates, market stalls and tips for your visit.

Josefimarkt 2027: date set by a fixed municipal rule

Josefimarkt in Helpfau-Uttendorf, in the Braunau district, takes place every year on the second Saturday and Sunday in March. This means that, for 2027, Saturday 13 March and Sunday 14 March are the expected market days according to the official municipal rule. The market town has not yet published a dedicated festival programme for 2027. The 2026 edition took place on 14 and 15 March. There, the accompanying Josefiwiesn festivities began on Friday evening, 13 March. It is not yet clear whether this additional night of festivities will take place again in 2027.

A long market and festival route through Uttendorf

Josefimarkt is a traditional fair in the Innviertel region of Upper Austria. The municipality describes a roughly 1,2-kilometre-long experience and market route, with around 150 market traders and about 30 trade exhibitors, as typical figures. The stalls are spread across areas of the town centre, while the trade exhibition and various entertainment options complete the programme. These figures are general information from the municipality and are not a confirmed number of traders for 2027. The exact locations of all the stalls will also be decided by the new organisers.

Josefimarkt 2027: rides and amusement park

An amusement park is a recurring feature of Josefimarkt. It may include rides for different age groups, games and food and drink outlets. The market town specifically promotes an amusement park, a beer tent, a wine tent and a disco cellar. However, the individual rides and operators taking part on 13 and 14 March 2027 have not yet been named publicly. For this reason, no ride from previous editions of the fair is being presented as part of the current line-up. Suitable attraction profiles can be added once official or sufficiently specific secondary reports are available.

Josefiwiesn, festival tents and music

Josefiwiesn is the social side of the goods market itself. Previous editions featured a beer tent, a wine tent and a disco cellar, with entertainment lasting into the evening. Music groups and various events are also part of the festival atmosphere. At the 2026 edition, the official market opening took place on Saturday, accompanied by several groups playing music. This programme has not been carried over to 2027 without verification. In particular, a Friday date for the Wiesn and specific artist performances have not been confirmed by new evidence.

Opening times and possible admission

Josefimarkt is held on the second weekend in March under the annual municipal rule. For 2026, press reports at the time said that the market stalls opened at 09:00 on Saturday and Sunday. A complete, confirmed set of opening and closing times for 2027 is not yet available. The times are therefore initially hidden in the MEC entry, and no artificial daily schedule is shown. No general admission fee for the 2027 edition has been published either. Rides, food and individual festival events may involve additional costs.

Getting to Helpfau-Uttendorf

Uttendorf is in the municipality of Helpfau-Uttendorf, in the Braunau am Inn district. The municipal office at Uttendorf 11b is a central point of reference for getting there. The market itself extends across several streets and is not limited to the municipal office. Traffic arrangements and parking may change, especially on festival days. You can find more fairs in our funfair calendar. The Helpfau-Uttendorf market town provides information about the regular date and further details when available.
