Güstrow – Güstrow City Festival 2027
What to expect
Güstrow City Festival 2027 is expected to take place from Friday, 11 June, to Sunday, 13 June 2027. The city is planning a new edition and is selecting an organiser; the dates follow the previous year's schedule and have not yet been officially confirmed.
Güstrow City Festival 2027: planned, date not yet confirmed
On 24 September 2026, the Güstrow city council decided to select an organiser for the city festival 2027. This explicitly provides for the organisation of a new edition. However, no binding festival dates have yet been announced. Based on the Friday-to-Sunday schedule of the 2026 edition, 11 to 13 June 2027 is listed as a provisional plan. The dates may change once the organiser has been appointed. The dates are therefore not yet a confirmed event announcement by the city.
Marktplatz as the central event venue
In 2026, the city festival took place on the newly renovated market square in the heart of Güstrow. Areas for a stage, traders and showmen were set up there. The historic surroundings provided a fitting setting for a stroll with family and friends. Its proximity to the shopping streets also made it easy to combine the festival with a visit to the old town. That is why Marktplatz is our reference point on the map. Whether other streets and squares will also be included in the festival site for 2027 will be decided as part of the new event planning.
Güstrow City Festival 2027: rides and showmen
The 2026 edition had a dedicated showmen's and traders' area on Marktplatz. The offering was aimed both at families and at visitors looking to experience a typical fair atmosphere. It is not yet known which rides and operators are planned for the next edition. No specific attraction details have therefore been listed for 2027. The number and types of stalls may also change. The title image is a custom funfair illustration, not an original photograph of the city festival.
Live music and celebrations
The city festival 2026 featured concerts, dance events and entertainment on stage over several days. Celebrations continued late into the night on Friday and Saturday. There was also information from local businesses and performances by regional groups. These programme items have not yet been confirmed for 2027. The previous performers' list would give a misleading impression, so it has not been included. If you are planning to travel for a concert, check the stage schedule and opening times published later by the new organiser.
Family programme and interactive activities
Previous editions particularly focused on family activities on Sunday. Alongside the stage programme, there were interactive activities and demonstrations for different age groups. Traders and showmen also opened their stalls. This meant visitors could enjoy the city festival throughout the day. Whether similar activities will take place again in 2027 depends on the new organiser's plans. No children's programmes or individual dates have therefore been confirmed in the calendar. Registration is generally not required for ordinary public market areas.
Admission and opening times not yet confirmed
According to official tourism information, the city festival 2026 was free to attend. Rides, food and drink, and goods may incur additional costs. The organiser at the time listed different opening times for the stage, traders and the festival as a whole. However, these arrangements cannot simply be carried over to 2027. As the city is currently selecting a new organiser, visitor opening times have not yet been confirmed. The MEC schedule will therefore remain blank for now. Admission arrangements will only be confirmed once the new tender process is complete.
Getting to Güstrow's Marktplatz
Güstrow is in the centre of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and is easy to reach by regional train. From the station, walk through the town centre to Marktplatz. If you are travelling by car, there are several car parks outside the pedestrian zone. On festival days, access may be restricted by stages and market stalls. It is therefore worth checking the site map when it is published. If you are visiting with children, you can explore the old town on foot and use Marktplatz as a meeting point.
