Dortmund – Fredolino Easter funfair 2027

Fredolino Easter funfair 2027 is scheduled to take place from 20.03.2027 to 03.04.2027 at Dortmund's Fredenbaumplatz on Eberstraße in the Nordstadt district. The Fredolino Easter funfair is one of Dortmund's major spring funfairs. The fairground at Fredenbaum traditionally hosts numerous rides for children and adults, as well as food, confectionery and game stalls. In previous editions, the event site was fenced off and had an entrance gate. You can also find the key information here to help you plan your visit.

Fredolino Easter funfair 2027: Location and nature of the event

The period from 20 March to 3 April 2027 is currently listed in event calendars, but the Schaustellerverein Rote Erde has not yet explicitly confirmed it. The 2026 edition included family days, themed events, fireworks and a one-euro entrance fee to the site. None of these prices or specific programme items has yet been confirmed for 2027. The current concept for Dortmund's Easter funfair grew out of the Fredolino version developed during the pandemic. For many visitors, the fairground at Fredenbaum marks the traditional start of Dortmund's funfair season. So, when planning your visit, the specific event location matters more than a general reference to the city. Different areas may also have separate entrances and routes. It is therefore helpful to familiarise yourself with the site beforehand.

Rides, market stalls and more experiences

The Fredolino Easter funfair is one of Dortmund's major spring funfairs. The fairground at Fredenbaum traditionally hosts numerous rides for children and adults, as well as food, confectionery and game stalls. In previous editions, the event site was fenced off and had an entrance gate. Which showmen and individual attractions will attend the 2027 edition may change up to the start of the event. A historical line-up of rides does not confirm what will be there in the new year. We therefore list only confirmed features of the event and do not present rides from previous editions as definite participants. Families in particular should also check the final programme information.
