What to expect

Osterkirmes Bochum 2027 brings funfair rides to Castroper Straße again from Saturday, 27 March to Sunday, 4 April. For nine days, Bochum Marketing turns the fairground into a meeting place for everyone who enjoys carousels, game stalls and the smell of funfair treats. The dates and daily opening times for 2027 have already been officially announced.

Osterkirmes Bochum 2027: dates and opening times

The funfair starts on 27 March 2027 and ends on 4 April 2027. According to Bochum Tourismus, the same hours apply on all nine days: daily from 14 to 21. This makes it easy to plan your visit during the Easter holidays too. No additional special schedule for individual days has been announced so far. The opening times are also listed together in this event's opening times section.

Rides at Osterkirmes Bochum 2027

The fairground on Castroper Straße traditionally features rides and funfair classics alongside games and food stalls. The city marketing company describes Osterkirmes as family entertainment with carousels, shooting galleries and typical funfair food. The individual showmen and attractions taking part in spring 2027 have not yet been officially announced. That's why we have deliberately not included a supposedly confirmed line-up of rides from an earlier year. Once a current list is published, we can add details of the rides on offer.

Where is the fairground and how do you get there?

The event takes place at the fairground on Castroper Straße in 44791 Bochum, not in Wattenscheid town centre or at the site of another Bochum district funfair. Check the latest traffic and public transport information shortly before your visit. It's a good idea to allow extra travel time, especially for popular Easter events. The map shows you where the fairground is.

Prices, programme and visitor tips

Specific ride prices, possible discounts and a programme for 2027 have not yet been officially published. A family day should not simply be assumed based on the 2026 edition either. If you're visiting with children, it's worth checking the organiser's latest announcements. You can start your visit with a leisurely stroll around the funfair and decide on the spot which rides suit your group.

The confirmed dates and times are from Bochum Tourismus / Bochum Marketing. Find more fairs in the region in our funfair calendar. The title image is explicitly marked as an illustrative image and is not a photo of Bochum's Osterkirmes.
