Everswinkel – Vitusfest 2027

Vitusfest Everswinkel 2027 is expected to take place from Friday, 18 June to Monday, 21 June 2027, in accordance with the municipality's official annual rule. The municipality always schedules the traditional Vitusfest for the weekend after 15 June, the name day of Saint Vitus. The festival combines a funfair in the town centre with a fire brigade festival, Vituslauf and events around the church square. The organiser has not yet published a complete programme for 2027. The overall dates are therefore marked as expected.

Vitusfest Everswinkel 2027: date based on the municipal rule

The municipality of Everswinkel explicitly confirms that the festival takes place every year on the weekend after 15 June. In 2027, the first following weekend falls on Saturday, 19, and Sunday, 20 June. As Vitusfest traditionally begins on Friday and ends on Monday, this means the festival is expected to run from 18 to 21 June 2027. The local sports club SC DJK has also announced the Vituslauf individually for Saturday, 19 June 2027. However, the organiser has not yet confirmed the full four-day event.

Vitusfest Everswinkel 2027: Vituskirmes and rides

The funfair has also been one of the main attractions at Vitusfest for many years. According to the municipal service portal, it traditionally opens on Saturday and closes on Monday. Families can visit the rides and stalls again on the festival's Monday. The rides and showmen taking part in 2027 have not yet been confirmed. We have therefore not listed any individual attractions as confirmed. The exact layout for the upcoming event has not yet been published either.

Vituslauf, fire brigade festival and flea market

The festival also brings together several local traditions. Vituslauf usually takes place on Saturday. The Everswinkel fire brigade's annual celebration and the joint festival programme are also long-standing traditions. According to the municipality, on Sunday the Historisches Viereck becomes a meeting place for flea market stalls, music and activities organised by local clubs. In previous years, shops have also invited visitors to browse on the Sunday when they open specially. For 2027, only Vituslauf and the general annual rule have been specifically confirmed; other individual dates are still unconfirmed.

Where does the event take place?

Vituskirmes takes place in the centre of Everswinkel. There is traditionally plenty going on around Magnusplatz, Vitusstraße and the Historisches Viereck, formed by Vitusstraße, Warendorfer Straße, Hovestraße and Nordstraße. Magnusplatz, marked on the map, is an important landmark, not the final layout of all the rides. For the 2026 event, the municipality imposed several traffic restrictions on the festival days. The latest access and parking rules for 2027 will be announced later.

Opening hours, admission and prices

Opening times provisional, as of 2026. The listed funfair times for Saturday, Sunday and Monday come from the previous year's official municipal event listing. They are provisional and still need to be confirmed for 2027. No confirmed funfair opening time is available for Friday, even though the full Vitusfest traditionally begins that day. Admission conditions for individual events, ride prices and special offers for the new event have not yet been published either. Find more fairs in our events calendar.
