Regional tourism websites have also already published daily opening times for the five days of the fair.

This popular fair attracts visitors from the Nahe region and further afield every year.
Bad Kreuznacher Jahrmarkt 2027 at the Pfingstwiese
The fair has been part of Bad Kreuznach’s cultural life since 1810. It is one of the large five-day fairs in Rhineland-Palatinate. A varied fairground is set up right by the Nahe, with rides, food and drink stalls and a row of traders. The Pfingstwiese offers plenty of space for large attractions and many smaller stalls. The fair is also closely linked to the traditions of showman families and to the city’s social life.
Rides, Dippemarkt and Naheweinzelt
The Bad Kreuznacher Jahrmarkt traditionally features both family rides and high-speed attractions. There are also prize draws, confectionery and a range of food and drink options. At the Naheweinzelt, you can discover wines from the region, while the Dippemarkt is a traditional area with market stalls. A total of 181 rides, retail businesses and food and drink businesses were approved for 2026. However, this figure from the previous year is not a confirmed line-up of rides for 2027. Therefore, no individual rides have yet been assigned to the new edition.

The 2026 edition also featured a family afternoon with discounts on Tuesday. Such an event has not yet been separately confirmed for 2027, so it is not listed as confirmed.
