Viernheim – Viernheimer Kerwe 2027
What to expect
Viernheimer Kerwe 2027 is expected to take place from 5 to 10 November 2027. A traditional fair with market stalls and community festivities is expected to return to Viernheim. The date follows the pattern of previous years; the 2027 edition and its programme have not yet been officially confirmed.
Viernheimer Kerwe 2027: The festival site
The Kerwe is part of Viernheim’s event calendar. Last year, festivities took place around Apostelplatz and the Rathaus car park. A visit to the town centre is also worthwhile on 2027, once the city has announced the final event areas. You can also check the market’s current location on the location map.
Tradition and celebrating together
The Viernheimer Kerwe traditionally includes not only rides and games, but also activities organised by the Kerweverein. 2026, the programme included a parade, a ceremonial keg tapping and entertainment in a festival tent. It has not yet been announced whether these activities will take place 2027 in the same format. Individual events and times will therefore only be listed as confirmed once an announcement has been made.
Viernheimer Kerwe 2027: Rides
In 2026, the city listed a total of 28 businesses and attractions, including nine rides, eleven food and drink stalls and eight game stalls. This is a look back, not a line-up of rides for 2027. It will only become clear which showmen are actually coming when new announcements are made. For more ideas for days out, also take a look at our funfair calendar.
Catering and Kerwe Association
A stroll around the funfair often combines rides with food and drink. 2026, for example, langos, crêpes and other dishes were announced. Specific vendors have not yet been confirmed for the next edition. It also remains to be seen what activities the Kerweverein will organise in the new year. Once the town publishes the programme, you can plan which offerings to visit.
Opening hours and admission
The opening hours and admission arrangements for 2027 have not yet been officially confirmed. The operating hours shown in the overview are based on the previous year. Individual rides, food and other offerings may incur charges, regardless of access to the market grounds. So allow a separate budget for paid offerings.
