Bischofswerda – Schiebocker Tage 2027

Schiebocker Tage 2027 in Bischofswerda: The town festival is expected to mark the 800-year anniversary, but the exact dates are still provisional.

Schiebocker Tage 2027 in the town centre

This overview will help you plan. Schiebocker Tage is one of the traditional town festivals of Upper Lusatia. Every year, visitors celebrate around Altmarkt and other areas in the centre of Bischofswerda. For 2027, the major festival week for the town's 800th anniversary has already been confirmed for 4 to 13 June. It includes music, family activities, a Schiebock race and showmen. We expect the usual three-day town festival to run from 11 to 13 June; these exact dates have not yet been officially confirmed.

Rides and funfair at the town festival

At the 2026 edition, the funfair was on the car park on Clara-Zetkin-Straße. The HighSky Ferris wheel was announced as a special attraction, along with traditional showmen's attractions. This information is for reference only and does not confirm the line-up of rides for 2027. Additional areas may also be used for the anniversary celebrations. Although the announced festival week will once again include showmen, the individual rides and their locations have not yet been announced.

Schiebock race as a hallmark

The traditional Schiebock race is a key feature of the festival. Teams push a loaded historic handcart over the cobbled streets as spectators watch the competition. The race recalls the town's nickname and its history of craftsmanship. The town has also confirmed the Schiebock race for the anniversary programme 2027. However, detailed start times and the exact venue during the festival week have not yet been announced. We therefore won't add an invented programme date for now.

Stage programme and family activities

For example, in 2026, there were concerts at Altmarkt and Kirchplatz, as well as a family festival at Mühlteich. Music, clubs and hands-on activities shaped the weekend. Further concerts and joint events have been announced for the 800-year anniversary celebrations 2027. The bands and dates for individual programme items are not yet fully known. So it's worth checking the updated town anniversary calendar before you set off.

Dates for Schiebocker Tage 2027

The provisional dates for Schiebocker Tage 2027 are Friday, 11 June, to Sunday, 13 June 2027. This is based on the usual town festival schedule for the second weekend in June and the end of the officially announced anniversary festival week on 13 June. So far, only the overall festival week from 4 to 13 June has been confirmed. Daily funfair opening hours for 2027 have not yet been published. There is generally no admission charge for the free-access town-centre festival; charges may apply for selected individual attractions.

Getting there and practical information

The main event areas are in the historic centre of Bischofswerda. There may be road closures around Altmarkt during stage construction and the festival.
