Erkrath Marksmen's Festival and Fair 2027: Dates
The fair lasts five days and falls on the weekend around Corpus Christi.

For 2027, the Interessengemeinschaft specifically gives the dates as 26 to 30 May. The full programme for this year's event will be published separately.
Fairground at Gerberplatz
The brotherhood names Gerberplatz as the location of its festival tent. The 2026 event and its funfair were also held there. So you can use the square as a landmark when planning your visit. Details about the set-up and possible traffic restrictions for 2027 are not yet available. Check the organisers' notices before you travel.
