Riegelsberg – Riegelsberg Spring Funfair 2027

Riegelsberger Frühkirmes 2027: The spring funfair in Riegelsberg is one of the early funfair dates in Saarland. According to local regulations, it starts on the last Saturday in April and runs until the following Monday. This means that in 2027 it will take place from 24 to 26 April. The programme and opening hours for the coming year have yet to be announced.

Riegelsberger Frühkirmes 2027 on the market square

The municipality holds its funfairs as public events across several possible sites in the town centre. According to the bylaws, these include the market square between Rathausstraße and Marienstraße, the forecourt of the town hall and the fairground in front of Riegelsberghalle. In 2026, the market square was the main focus of the funfair. It is therefore a good starting point for your visit. Which parts of the sites 2027 will actually be occupied will only become clear from the municipality’s specific announcement.

Rides and showmen's stalls

For 2026, the municipality announced a range of rides and stalls. The selection catered for visitors of all ages. Food stalls and nearby restaurants were also part of the funfair visit. A typical visit can therefore combine a walk around the fair with a stop at one of the local pubs. The showmen and specific attractions for 2027 have not yet been confirmed. We therefore deliberately do not name any particular rides as confirmed participants.

Spring funfair tradition

The spring funfair is one of two regular funfair events in the Riegelsberg district. While the spring edition takes place on the last weekend of April, the late funfair follows in September. Both are described by the municipality in its own regulations. This makes them a firm part of the local annual calendar. Families may particularly appreciate that the funfair takes place in the centre, with everything within easy reach. At the same time, the local shops offer the chance to make it a longer afternoon outing.

Family visit and other offers

At the 2026 edition, a flea market was held in the town hall forecourt on Sunday. Visitors could also enjoy Sunday shopping. These additional activities have not yet been announced for 2027. They are therefore mentioned here as a look back, not as part of the confirmed programme. Admission to the open funfair grounds is generally free; rides, games and food are paid for separately. Check for discounts in advance if you’re planning an afternoon at the funfair with several children.

Date of the Riegelsberger Spring Funfair 2027

The expected dates are Saturday 24 April to Monday 26 April 2027. The calculation follows the local bylaw on funfairs. However, the municipality may exceptionally change individual event areas. No confirmed daily opening hours are available yet for 2027. The start time of midday on Saturday from the previous year is therefore not automatically a promise for the coming year. Check current notices about set-up, dismantling and temporary road closures.

Getting there and visitor tips

The market square is in the centre of Riegelsberg, near the town hall on Saarbrücker Straße. For the last edition, the municipality pointed to parking spaces in front of and behind the town hall, as well as on side streets. However, some of these areas may be closed or occupied during the funfair. You can also reach the area by Saarbahn and local bus services. Check the relevant stops and departures for the day you plan to visit before setting off.
