Arnstadt – Arnstädter Wollmarkt 2027

Arnstädter Wollmarkt 2027 is scheduled for Saturday, 19 June, to Sunday, 27 June 2027. The Thuringian Showmen's Association e. V. already lists these dates in its official events calendar. This traditional fair in Arnstadt has been part of the city's calendar for many generations and combines rides with games and food and drink stalls. The exact line-up of rides and programme for 2027 have yet to be announced.

Arnstädter Wollmarkt 2027: Officially confirmed dates

The official calendar of the Thuringian Showmen's Association, which organises the Wollmarkt together with the city of Arnstadt, explicitly gives the dates as 19 to 27 June 2027. The opening is therefore planned for a Saturday, with the fair ending on the following Sunday. The dates cover nine calendar days, including the week between two June weekends. On its own website, the city describes these two weekends as the traditional annual schedule.

What makes Arnstädter Wollmarkt special?

The history of the Wollmarkt dates back to 1850. The market was originally set up for wool and natural products, and later developed into a traditional fair. According to the city, the Wollmarkt traditionally features larger rides, children's carousels, show and game stalls, as well as food and drink. This description shows the nature of the event, but does not confirm any specific rides for 2027.

Arnstädter Wollmarkt 2027: Rides and showmen

For the 2026 edition, the city of Arnstadt documented a selection of 20 attractions in total, including bumper cars, Break Dancer and a ghost train. This information refers specifically to the previous year. No new, complete line-up has yet been published for 2027. The rides mentioned are therefore not automatically listed as participants in the next edition. The confirmed attractions can only be identified once the association or the city publishes a definitive line-up for 2027.

Location and getting around Arnstadt

The Wollmarkt traditionally takes place on the square of the same name in Arnstadt. For the 2026 edition, the city gives Wollmarkt as the location. It is close to the town centre and is marked on the map as a geographical reference point. However, possible effects of construction work in the town centre and the final site plan for 2027 still need to be checked. City notices include work on Schloßstraße scheduled to continue into summer 2027. So check the actual route shortly before you travel.

Opening times and admission to the Wollmarkt

Opening times are provisional, as of 2026. The start times shown in the schedule are from the previous year's official events calendar. No separate daily opening and closing times have yet been set for 2027. Individual ride prices, possible family days, general admission arrangements and an exact layout of the stall pitches have also not been officially announced. The calendar therefore does not include made-up closing times or prices. Find more dates in the funfair calendar.
