Rostock Easter Market 2027: Spring opening in Rostock city centre

The Rostock Easter Market traditionally opens the showmen's season in the heart of the Hanseatic city. A colourful Easter trail stretches from Kröpeliner Straße via Universitätsplatz to Neuer Markt. The organiser expects around 70 traders from the showman trade, food stalls, drinks stalls and retail for the 2027 edition. There is also a mix of Easter decorations, confectionery and small family activities. So the market is not only a shopping destination, but also a spring fair with rides.

Rostock Easter Market 2027: Rostock Easter Market 2027: Bumper cars and children's attractions

The showmen's offering is aimed particularly at families. Großmarkt Rostock has announced an ecumenical service on the bumper cars, so this ride is at least planned as part of the programme. Other family-friendly attractions, a children's railway and typical funfair stalls are also known to be in the market area. However, the specific line-up of operators and rides for 2027 has not yet been finalised. Individual attraction profiles have therefore not been assigned yet, to avoid giving incorrect showman details.

Rostock Easter Market 2027: Family days and the Easter Bunny

The organiser plans a family day every Wednesday. In 2027, these two days fall on 24 and 31 March. The Easter Bunny is also due to visit the market on selected days, and a giant Easter egg can be painted. The Easter Bunny's exact visiting schedule has not yet been confirmed, so we have not listed any unconfirmed times. It's worth asking the showmen, especially on family days, as ride discounts and conditions may vary from stall to stall.

Easter trail with food stalls and traders

The Easter market includes around two dozen traditional market stalls selling gift ideas and spring decorations. Food stalls and confectionery add to the typical funfair atmosphere. A stroll takes you through several squares in Rostock city centre, making it easy to combine shopping with rides. The Easter decorations also shape what's on offer. The Easter Bunny and various activities make the market a day out for children and adults. Individual traders may adjust their operations in bad weather.

Opening hours and closed on Good Friday

Großmarkt Rostock publishes different opening hours for weekdays and weekends for 2027. The general opening-hour groups are therefore shown in the MEC timetable. The Good Friday closure is particularly important: the Easter market will be completely closed on 26 March 2027. A showmen's service on the bumper cars is planned for Easter Monday, 29 March. Its exact start time is not yet known. Access to the public market areas is free; rides and purchases are charged separately.

Getting there and latest information

The Easter trail is centrally located between Neuer Markt, Universitätsplatz and Kröpeliner Straße. You can reach the city centre from Rostock Central Station by tram, and the stalls are then within walking distance. The market may lead to restrictions on deliveries and parking.
