Dresden – Dresdner Vogelwiese 2027

Dresdner Vogelwiese 2027: Dresdner Vogelwiese is one of the city's best-known historic fairs. Following the 2026 edition from 11 to 26 July, we are provisionally expecting the next edition to run from 10 to 25 July in 2027. The organiser has not yet announced a confirmed date or a line-up of rides for the next edition.

Dresdner Vogelwiese 2027 at the fairground

The large Dresden fairground is located on Pieschener Allee in the Ostragehege area. The Dresden showmen's association regularly organises the Sommer-Vogelwiese here. The fair attracts local people and visitors from the region who want to experience a classic funfair atmosphere. In 2026, the Vogelwiese was held for the 560 time. This gives the event an exceptionally long history. The exact site layout for 2027 has not yet been finalised. Nevertheless, the fairground on Pieschener Allee remains the main landmark.

Rides and amusement stalls

At Vogelwiese, rides, game stalls and food stands are part of the usual line-up. Last season, the organiser invited applications from operators of various rides and walk-through attractions. This means a new selection is put together every year, appealing to different age groups. Thrilling rides for adults can also stand alongside gentler attractions for children. There is no confirmed information yet about which showmen 2027 will be taking part. We therefore do not list a specific Ferris wheel, roller coaster or ghost train as a confirmed attraction.

History of the Vogelwiese

The tradition of the Dresdner Vogelwiese dates back several centuries. Historical depictions already show a festival with bird shooting in the 17 century. Over time, this developed into an increasingly varied range of entertainment. The Vogelwiese is therefore not just a contemporary funfair, but also a piece of Dresden’s city history. In our gallery, we show a historical postcard from 1909. This archival image serves as a reminder of the festival’s development and, of course, does not show today’s event.

Families and special activities

Previous editions have included various special days, such as discounts for families and small hands-on activities. Dresden’s cultural calendar describes a Scrabble competition for the opening day in 2026. However, such a programme is not automatically repeated the following year. So it is worth checking the actual event calendar if you want to visit on a particular day. The festival grounds are open to the public and have no general admission charge. Individual rides, games and food are paid for directly at the stalls.

Date of Dresdner Vogelwiese 2027

For 2027, the period from 10 to 25 July is provisionally estimated based on previous years. The Dresdner Vogelwiese took place from 11 to 26 July in 2026; in earlier years, the festival weekends also fell in July. An official announcement for 2027 is still pending. The daily opening hours have not been published either. We therefore do not show supposed confirmed operating hours until the details for the new edition are available.

Getting to the fairground

The event site is on Pieschener Allee in Dresden, near Ostragehege. Depending on your starting point, you can combine public transport with a walk to get there. If you plan to travel by car, be aware of possible restrictions on access roads and parking areas. The surrounding area can be very busy, especially at weekends. The Dresdner Schaustellerverband publishes additional information via the official event information channel.
