Oranienburg – Oranienburg town festival 2027

Stadtfest Oranienburg 2027 is expected to take place from 18 to 20 June 2027 around Schlossplatz. The date follows the pattern of previous years; opening hours and programme are based on the status as of 2026, and the 2027 edition has not yet been officially confirmed.

Oranienburg City Festival 2027: expected date

For 2026, the city announced the weekend from 19 to 21 June. The new edition has not yet been scheduled specifically for 2027. The provisional dates are therefore Friday, 18 June, to Sunday, 20 June 2027, following the same June weekend. The opening hours are based on the official edition from the previous year and have also not been confirmed as the new daily hours. A detailed schedule with performers and showmen will follow only after the organisers make an announcement.

Oranienburg Palace as the festival setting

A large festival mile traditionally takes shape around Schlossplatz, the market square and the Havel. Oranienburg Palace provides a striking backdrop for the stage. There are also activity areas around the Luise-Henriette-Steg and the dragon boat course. This lets you combine a walk by the water with the funfair. The map shows Schlossplatz as the centre of the festival; individual stalls and rides may be spread across the area.

Oranienburg City Festival 2027: Ferris wheel and rides

On the areas opposite the palace, the festival 2026 featured a large showman’s area. The organiser at the time described, among other things, a Ferris wheel and various rides for young and old. This made the town festival appealing to families with children too. No named line-up of rides for 2027 is known so far. We therefore do not list the former Ferris wheel or other showmen’s attractions as current participants. The article image is an illustrative image, not an original photograph.

Dragon boat race on the Havel

Dragon boat races have been a defining part of the Oranienburg town festival for years. 2026 several competitions were held over the three festival days. Teams and visitors alike were at the heart of the event on the Havel. In previous years, there were also other water sports activities. It has not yet been decided whether individual race classes and start times will be offered again 2027. We therefore do not list old race times as new dates. The Havel promenade remains a useful landmark.

Stage programme and evening show

Various music groups performed on the stage in front of the castle last season. In addition to concerts, the organiser offered family entertainment and a large light or fire show. This mix creates an atmospheric evening setting. However, no specific acts or show times have yet been officially announced for 2027. We therefore describe only the known event format. The detailed daily schedule may change, although the festival area is expected to remain open for several hours again.

Admission and opening times as in the previous year

General admission was free on 2026, according to the city and the festival organisers. You pay separately for food, drinks and individual rides. The regular festival area was open that year on Friday from 14 to 24, on Saturday from 10 to 24 and on Sunday from 10 to 19. These times are recorded as the previous year's schedule. The dragon boat races had their own operating hours, which must not be confused with the market opening hours. The final arrangements for 2027 will follow later.

Getting there and parking in Oranienburg

Oranienburg station is easy to reach by S-Bahn and regional trains. From there, a walking route leads towards Schlossplatz and the banks of the Havel. There are also bus services to the town centre. If you are travelling by car, you should observe the traffic rules around the palace and festival area. Access roads and parking spaces may be closed. Travelling by public transport is therefore particularly worthwhile in the evenings. For a step-free visit, it is helpful to check the festival plan later on.
