Flensburg – Flensburger Herbstjahrmarkt 2027

Flensburger Herbstjahrmarkt 2027 is expected to take place at the Exe from 10 to 19 September 2027. The city has not yet confirmed the dates; they are based on the Friday-to-Sunday schedule of previous years, which moves one day earlier each year.

Flensburger Herbstjahrmarkt 2027: expected dates

The autumn fair took place from 13 to 22 September in 2024, from 12 to 21 September in 2025, and from 11 to 20 September in 2026. Accordingly, the period from 10 to 19 September is likely for 2027. This forecast is easy to follow, but has not yet been published by the organiser. The dates are therefore explicitly listed as expected. The popular fair usually lasts ten days and starts on a Friday. New official information may replace the schedule derived so far at any time.

A tradition at the Exe for over a hundred years

According to its official website, the Flensburg fair is Schleswig-Holstein's largest fair. Markets have been held in the city twice a year since 1880. The Exe has been the traditional venue since 1924. Carousels and market stalls are set up there between the city and the Förde. For the 2026 edition, the city listed almost 100 stalls, rides and food outlets. However, the exact number for 2027 is not yet known and should not be assumed to remain unchanged.

Flensburger Herbstjahrmarkt 2027: rides

The fair features classic round rides, large high-speed rides, children's carousels and amusement games. The showmen include various family businesses, some of which have been active in the region for generations. It is not yet possible to say for certain which operators will set up their rides in 2027. No current line-up of rides is therefore available. At the last fair, a range of rides and show attractions offered something for different age groups. A confirmed list for September 2027 will be added once it has been published.

Family day and character activities

In 2026, Flensburg held a family day with discounts on 17 September. An activity day featuring superheroes and fairytale characters was also announced. These offers are a look back at the previous fair and are not confirmed for 2027. If you are planning a particularly affordable visit, you should wait for the new announcement. The early afternoon may be especially appealing if you have young children. Exact activity times will be shared later on the official fair website.

Admission and opening hours

Admission to the fairground was free in 2026. Visitors pay separately for rides, food and games. Provisional opening hours, as of 2026: the fair was open from 14 to 23 every day for all ten days. These official hours from the previous year are included in the calendar as a guide. It is not yet clear whether the daily opening hours will remain unchanged in September 2027. Before making a long journey, you should check the organiser's final confirmation.

Food stalls and other offerings

The fairground has numerous stalls selling sweets, hot food and drinks. There are also usually shooting galleries, lottery stalls, games and specialist sales stands. This mix also makes for a pleasant stroll. Prices and offerings from individual showmen naturally vary from season to season. We are therefore not yet listing specific names or ride prices for 2027. You should also note that individual stalls may have different opening hours from the fair as a whole.

Getting to the Exe and parking

During the fair, the regular Exe car park is closed for set-up, the event and dismantling. In 2026, the city named Friesische Lücke as an alternative parking area. Designated parking spaces for visitors with disabilities were located on Katharinenstraße. The site is also accessible by bus and public transport. The traffic arrangements for 2027 have not yet been announced. The main image is illustrative; the gallery contains an authentic archive photo of the Exe from 2013.
