Elsterwerda – 28 spring fair 2027

The 28. Elsterwerda Spring Fair 2027 takes place from Friday, 16 April to Sunday, 18 April 2027 in the Gewerbegebiet Ost. The Elsterwerda business association confirms the dates and free admission on the official festival website. The concept combines a trade fair with a showmen’s area, a flea market, food and drink, and a festival tent programme. When you visit, you can enjoy both the colourful funfair and the activities offered by the participating businesses.

28. Elsterwerda Spring Fair 2027: Date and location

This year's event begins on Friday, 16 April 2027, and ends on Sunday, 18 April. It is the 28 edition: the 27 Elsterwerda Spring Fair was already held in 2026. Any different numbering in older planning lists therefore does not indicate the correct edition for 2027.

The event takes place in the East Industrial and Business Estate in Elsterwerda. Activities are spread across business premises, market areas and the amusement area. Use the area around Zum Kalkberg in 04910 Elsterwerda as a guide. A definitive, detailed site plan for the 2027 edition has not yet been published separately on the organiser's website.

28. Elsterwerda Spring Fair 2027: Funfair and showmen

The festival concept explicitly includes a showmen's park, rides and game stalls. You can also browse the traders' and food avenue. The organisers are already inviting showmen, traders and catering businesses to take part in the 2027 edition. However, there is not yet a complete, officially confirmed line-up of rides listing which individual attractions will actually be set up.

This means we are not presenting a ride from a previous year as an attraction that has already been confirmed. The showmen's list can be updated when reliable information about the 2027 event becomes available.

The official programme page for 2027, now published, lists Breakdance, Jungle Beat (giant swing), Freefall Tower, bumper cars, swing ride, Rockstar, Pirate Swing and Twister, as well as several children's rides, among the planned attractions. The showmen's park is scheduled to open at 16 on Friday and at 11 on Saturday. Details of the individual rides and their operators, along with a complete line-up of rides, will be added once further confirmations are available.

Trade fair and open businesses

The Elsterwerda Spring Fair is more than an ordinary funfair. According to the Business Association, numerous venues from businesses, crafts and services take part across the business estate. At activities and demonstrations, you can get an insight into the businesses' work. A shared walking route connects the different locations.

The open day is part of the planned programme on Saturday. The organiser will gradually add details of which businesses are taking part in 2027 and what demonstrations they will offer. Individual business activities are therefore not yet listed as firmly confirmed.

Festival tent, family programme and flea market

According to the official festival website, Friday's programme includes an afternoon cultural coffee event for older people and an evening programme for young people. Saturday focuses on business activities and evening entertainment. Sunday is described as a relaxed family day with further market stalls and food.

Festival tent entertainment, a flea market, funfair and food avenue are also planned for the weekend. The daily times for individual performances and activities have not yet all been officially confirmed, so we have listed the daily programme without inventing start times.

Admission and opening hours

Admission is free on all event days, as the business association explicitly states. Costs may arise, for example, for individual rides, purchases or food. Specific price lists for 2027 have not yet been published.

Opening times have not yet been fully published. The organiser has confirmed the three-day period and the main attractions for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but not uniform opening times for all rides, stalls and business venues. We therefore avoid giving an unverified daily funfair schedule.

Getting to the East Industrial Estate

For planning your journey, head for the East Industrial Estate around Zum Kalkberg. Please note that many businesses and event areas are in use at the same time during the Spring Fair. An official traffic and parking plan for 2027 will be announced later. Traffic arrangements for the 2026 edition should therefore not be assumed to apply to the following year.

If you are travelling by car, bus or bicycle, check the signs and the organiser's latest notices shortly before you set off. This will help you find the right entrance even if road closures or parking areas change.
