Schlüchtern – Kalter Markt 2027
What to expect
Kalter Markt Schlüchtern 2027 is expected to take place from Friday, 5 November, to Tuesday, 9 November 2027. The town of Schlüchtern has so far only confirmed the 2026 event, from 6 to 10 November; the 2027 date is based on the annual pattern.
Kalter Markt Schlüchtern 2027: five days in the town centre
Kalter Markt is a long-standing festival in the Bergwinkel region of Hesse. The town describes a varied programme in the streets and squares of the town centre. The previous event included traders, clubs, food and drink, and a fairground. The exact layout of the stalls for 2027 has not yet been published. So you can only plan where to find specific attractions once the new programme is available.
Kalter Markt Schlüchtern 2027: rides and market
According to the town, the fairground, with rides for visitors young and old, is part of the character of Kalter Markt. It has not yet been confirmed which rides will be there for 2027. Nor are there any details yet on the number of showmen or market stalls for the new event. We are therefore not publishing a line-up of rides in advance. Updates will only be made once they have been reliably confirmed.
Programme and tradition
Kalter Markt combines market activities with local traditions. For 2026, for example, the town announced a market opening, a children's lantern procession and a large fireworks display. Whether and when these events will take place in 2027 has not yet been confirmed. The performers for musical events and the exact schedule for individual club events may also change. So do not treat last year's details as a confirmed timetable.
Opening times and family day
Opening hours for 2027 have not yet been published. For guidance, different market hours were announced for each day in 2026, including shorter hours on the final market day. Those times can serve as a provisional basis for planning, but are not confirmed for 2027. A family day with discounted ride prices for the new event also still needs to be confirmed.
Admission and prices
The official information checked so far does not say whether access to the entire festival site 2027 is explicitly free. So the admission status remains unclear. Rides, food and individual events may incur separate charges. Without evidence, a blanket claim that admission is free would not be reliable. Check the latest prices and discounts with the organisers before you visit.
Getting to Schlüchtern
The festival takes place across Schlüchtern town centre. Streets may be closed and parking may be limited during the event. For 2026, the town provided information about parking areas and special buses; new arrangements for 2027 have not yet been published. Check the official Schlüchtern town website before setting off. You can find more events in the funfair calendar. This will help you plan your visit using the latest information available.
