Weiz – Weizer Kathrein-Kirtag 2027

Weizer Kathrein-Kirtag 2027 is expected to take place in Weiz on Thursday, 25 November 2027, at the Hauptplatz. The traditional Kathreins- or Katharinenmarkt is one of Weiz’s historic annual markets. The date follows St Catherine’s Day; there has not yet been a separate official confirmation for the 2027 edition. Opening hours are provisional, as of 2026.

Weizer Kathrein-Kirtag 2027: a tradition spanning centuries

Kathreins-Kirtag holds a special place in the history of Weiz. According to the city’s official chronicle, the market was granted the right to hold a Katharinenmarkt as early as 9 June 1447. The market day therefore recalls a tradition that goes far beyond today’s shopping. As you stroll through the city centre, you experience a custom that has played a part in Weiz for many generations.

What to expect at Weizer Kathrein-Kirtag 2027

This is primarily a traditional goods and market-stall fair, not a confirmed amusement park. Visitors can enjoy the atmosphere among the market stalls and city-centre shops. It is not yet known which traders will attend 2027 or what they will sell. No specific attractions, showmen or sales offers are therefore promised. Further details can be added as soon as the city publishes them.

Venue and city centre

The Kirtag is traditionally held at Weiz’s Hauptplatz. The 2026 edition was also officially announced for this location. The square is in the centre of 8160 Weiz. You can therefore easily combine a visit with a stroll through the surrounding streets. However, information about temporary traffic restrictions and parking for the market date 2027 is not yet available.

Free entry and market hours

You do not have to pay an entrance fee to access the public market area. Individual purchases, food and drinks cost extra, of course. In 2026, the city of Weiz announced market hours from 07:00 to 16:00. This period has been adopted as a provisional plan for 2027. No different official opening hours or additional programme items have been published so far.

Planning your visit to the market

Especially in November, it is worth planning to wear weatherproof clothing and checking the latest event notice before setting off. It is also a good idea to allow enough time for a leisurely stroll around the market. The market is a traditional shopping and social event organised by the city; fireworks, a specific line-up of rides or a special children’s programme have not been confirmed for this edition.

More markets and official information

In the funfair calendar, you can find more events in Styria and beyond. The most reliable up-to-date information about Kathreins-Kirtag is in the official event calendar of the city of Weiz. Before your visit, you should check the date, opening hours and any possible changes there.
