What to expect

Leipzig Spring Funfair 2027: The spring edition of Leipzig's Kleinmesse is listed in a current funfair calendar for 2027, from 9 April to 9 May. The Leipzig showmen's association has not yet independently confirmed the dates. The historic festival site at Cottaweg once again provides the setting for a fair with rides, games stalls and funfair food.

Leipzig Spring Funfair 2027 at Cottaweg

The Leipzig showmen's association regularly holds the Kleinmesse on the site at Cottaweg 5 in Leipzig-Lindenau. The Spring Kleinmesse 2026 ran from 4 April to 17 May, and the next edition is currently expected in April and May 2027. The festival site is a separate venue, not the exhibition grounds for the Leipzig Book Fair. So you’ll find classic rides and amusement stalls here rather than exhibition halls. If you’re planning a long visit to the fair, you can first get an overview of the different areas of the site.

Rides at the Leipzig Spring Funfair 2027

The City of Leipzig described 2026 a mix of a Ferris wheel, bumper cars, ghost train, lottery stalls and shooting galleries. These are examples from the previous season, not a confirmed line-up of rides for 2027. Attractions also change from season to season, so the selection may include new or special rides as well as classics. The Leipzig showmen's association provides information about the current offerings on its website. Individual rides can only be matched to the correct year once the participating operators are known.

Family day and regular special days

In previous years, every Wednesday was a family day with reduced ride prices. There was also a Ladies Night on Fridays with special offers. The new season programme will confirm whether and how the special days will be held in 2027. It’s especially worth checking these announcements if you’re visiting with children, as reduced ride prices can make a significant difference for families. However, special days do not automatically apply to all new attractions or all offerings at the festival site.

Food, drink and a stroll around

You can enjoy the Kleinmesse even without going on a ride. The city mentioned cotton candy, waffles and roasted almonds among the typical offerings. There are also food stalls and various games stalls. So the site is suitable for both a quick visit and a longer afternoon out. Entry to the freely accessible festival site is free; rides, games and food are charged separately. The exact selection of vendors has not yet been confirmed for the new season.

Spring dates and opening hours 2027

The period from 9 April to 9 May 2027 is listed in an events calendar, but has not yet been expressly confirmed by the organiser. The 2026 edition was generally open from Wednesday to Sunday in the afternoon; Monday and Tuesday were mostly rest days. Reliable daily opening hours for 2027 are not yet available, so we are not listing exact times at present. Also check for possible changes to opening hours around public holidays and during new special promotions.

Getting to the Leipzig Kleinmesse

You can reach the Kleinmesse fairground via Cottaweg, west of the city centre. Leipzig Tourist Information lists the Angerbrücke stop, served by tram lines and other local transport, as the nearest connection. You can walk to the site from there. Car parking depends on the situation around the sports park during the particular major event. We therefore recommend checking the current traffic arrangements and announcements from the showmen's association.
