Malchow – Malchow Fair 2027

Malchow Fair 2027 takes place in Malchow from 30.06.2027 to 04.07.2027. The five days of festivities, from Wednesday, 30 June to Sunday, 4 July 2027, are listed in event calendars and follow the established local July tradition. The fair association has announced the 174 edition, together with the 190 children's festival. A complete daily programme with opening times is not yet available.

Malchow Fair 2027: Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania’s oldest fair

Malchow Fair has been an established part of life in the island town since 1853. It is celebrated every year around the first full weekend in July and has been part of the nationwide register of intangible cultural heritage since 2014. The much older children's festival also has its own distinct tradition. For 2027, the 174 edition of the fair is planned alongside the 190 children's festival. This brings together several generations to celebrate, sing and enjoy the festivities.

Malchow Fair 2027: Malchow Fair 2027: funfair and rides

The large funfair is on the fairground at Buchenwaldweg. Under the usual arrangements, the showmen's area is open mainly from Friday to Sunday, so in 2027 from 2 to 4 July. The fair as a whole, however, starts on Wednesday. The traditional selection ranges from children's rides to attractions for teenagers and adults. A confirmed line-up of rides and participating businesses for 2027 has not yet been published. Therefore, no individual rides are listed as confirmed.

Malchow Fair 2027: Children's and fair parades

The large parades are the hallmark of Malchow Fair. Children wear imaginative costumes in the children's festival parade; later, clubs, businesses and local groups make their way through Malchow. A traditional boat parade also features in the programme in many years. The specific start times and routes for the 2027 edition have not yet been finalised. The town usually publishes separate route plans and information about road closures. Until then, the parades are described as a tradition, without inventing set times.

Music, market stalls and fairground

As well as showmen, the fairground features a stage programme and food and drink. The association regularly describes musical entertainment on two stages and a Sunday market. These features also make the fair a major gathering for people from Malchow and the surrounding area. However, bands, market stalls and programme items can change from year to year. Names from 2026 would therefore not be reliable announcements for 2027. The final programme is usually published closer to the fair.

Admission and opening times not yet available

Public festivities are the main focus of this event. Individual rides, food and purchases are charged separately; the organiser provides separate information about any additional charges for selected attractions. Reliable daily opening times for the fairground in 2027 have not yet been confirmed. The calendar therefore does not show estimated operating hours. Of particular importance to funfair fans: although the fair starts on Wednesday, the large showmen's area is open only on the final weekend, in line with the established event arrangements.

Getting there and further information

The fairground is on Buchenwaldweg, near Bahnhofstraße. Access routes through Malchow may be restricted during the large fair parades, so visitors should check the latest diversion and parking information in advance. The island town publishes plans and announcements on its official information page about the fair. You can also find more fairs in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in the funfair calendar.
