Gamlitz – Gamlitzer Weinlesefest 2027

Gamlitzer Weinlesefest 2027 is celebrated at Marktplatz in Gamlitz from Thursday, 30 September, to Sunday, 3 October 2027. The municipality has already announced the 59 edition for the first weekend in October. This well-known festival combines South Styrian wine, music, food and drink, and local traditions. The exact programme for 2027 will only become clear once further official announcements have been made.

Gamlitzer Weinlesefest 2027: the 59 edition

Gamlitzer Weinlesefest is one of the traditional autumn highlights of South Styria. The 58 edition in October 2026 will be followed by the 59 edition in 2027. The municipality has already confirmed that the first weekend in October is planned again. The festival will therefore run from Thursday, 30 September, to Sunday, 3 October 2027. Wine-growing traditions, conviviality and interaction between local people and visitors are at the heart of the festival. However, performers, programme items and prices may still change before the event.

Wine stalls and regional food at Marktplatz

The festival site is in the centre of Gamlitz. Wine stalls and food vendors traditionally set up here. You can sample regional specialities and enjoy the distinctive atmosphere of South Styria’s wine country. Local associations and other businesses are usually involved in the event too. The participating winegrowers and stallholders for 2027 have not yet all been confirmed. That is why we are not listing businesses as confirmed when they are not. Individual wine tastings and food may also incur additional charges.

Gamlitzer Weinlesefest 2027: music and traditional parade

A regular feature of previous editions has been the mix of musical performances and local traditions. In 2026, for example, there were several concerts, a ceremonial tapping of the Sturm barrel and, to close the festival on Sunday, the grand traditional parade. Decorated floats, traditional costume groups and music groups make this highlight especially appealing to many visitors. The previous edition also showed how many local associations and volunteers help make the festival a success. However, no official start time has yet been announced for the parade on Sunday, 3 October 2027. We are therefore not using a time from a previous year as a confirmed announcement.

Family activities and possible showmen

Families also visit Gamlitzer Weinlesefest. In previous years, the festival included fairground attractions alongside the stage programme and market. The rides, carousels and showmen that will actually be on site in autumn 2027 have not yet been confirmed by name. Once a line-up of rides for the current year is published, the relevant attraction profiles can be added. Until then, the list will remain deliberately open. This helps you avoid confusing visitors from previous years with confirmed participants when planning your visit.

Admission prices and opening times

Admission to Gamlitzer Weinlesefest is not generally free. In 2026, according to the event information, a day ticket cost 10 euros each day from Thursday to Saturday and 5 euros on Sunday. The municipality also offered a special advance-purchase ticket for local visitors at the time. New prices for 2027 have not yet been published, so the previous prices are not a guarantee of the current prices. Opening times have not yet been published: in particular, the confirmed closing times for the festival in 2027 are still unavailable. We therefore do not show up made-up times in the event calendar.

Tips for getting to Gamlitz

Marktplatz is in the centre of Gamlitz. Depending on where you are travelling from, you can drive or use regional bus services. The town centre can be very busy, especially during the traditional Sunday parade. You should therefore allow extra time and check for last-minute traffic updates. Parking arrangements and road closures for 2027 have not yet been announced. Event information is published by Marktgemeinde Gamlitz.
