Heilbronn – Heilbronn Horse Market 2027

The Heilbronner Pferdemarkt 2027 takes place from Friday, 26 February, to Sunday, 28 February 2027, according to the official events calendar of the City of Heilbronn. This traditional market combines trading, horse judging and a fairground atmosphere. If you are planning a visit, you can look forward to an event with a long history and something to suit a range of interests.

Heilbronner Horse Market 2027: Date and history

The horse market is one of the city's oldest traditional events. According to the city, its roots date back to 1770. Today, it is no longer solely about horse trading. Traders, food and entertainment now complement the historic horse-trading tradition. The city has already published the dates, from 26 to 28 February 2027, in its overview of event highlights.

Market stalls, food and drink, and fun park

For the 2026 edition, the city announced around 100 market stalls, well-known market criers and a fun park. Food stalls and a Ferris wheel were also part of the programme at the time. These details describe the previous year's edition. The traders, rides and operators actually taking part in 2027 have not yet been fully announced. That is why you will not find a line-up of rides presented here as confirmed for the new year.

Horse judging and programme

An important part of the tradition is the horse judging at Trappensee. In 2026, riding, working and breeding horses were judged there, and prizes were awarded. It has not yet been confirmed whether the individual events in 2027 will take place on the same days and at the same times. Once an official programme for 2027 is available, the exact dates can be added. Until then, previous schedules are only a guide.

Heilbronner Pferdemarkt 2027: Opening hours

The event ran from Friday to Sunday from 11 to 18 each day in 2026. There is currently no separate official opening-hours schedule for 2027. The information in the opening hours section is therefore based on the status as of 2026 and may change. Check the latest announcements from the City of Heilbronn before your visit. Specific information about admission and any costs for individual attractions at 2027 is also not yet available.

Getting there and location in Heilbronn

The venue is important for planning: in 2026, the horse market was moved to the fairground at Wertwiesenpark and Neckarhalde due to security requirements. The city held out the possibility of a return to the city centre in 2027, provided the necessary security measures were implemented. The exact venue for 2027 has therefore not yet been finally confirmed. Do not rely on old venue details without checking, and follow the organiser’s current travel information.
