Harsefeld – Harsefelder Autumn Fair 2027
What to expect
Harsefelder Autumn Fair 2027: The Harsefelder Autumn Fair is expected to take place from Friday, 10 September to Sunday, 12 September 2027. The official market regulations set the second Sunday in September as the market day. This also includes the preceding Friday and Saturday. The 2027 edition therefore lasts only three days. The alternative dates of 9 to 12 September are incorrect. A separate announcement with the programme for 2027 has not yet been published.
Harsefelder Autumn Fair 2027: Venue and location
The autumn fair stretches along Marktstraße in the centre of Harsefeld. The municipality uses this area for its two traditional annual fairs. In 2026, additional rides were located at the corner of Marktstraße and Mittelstraße. Nearby parking areas were also used. Marktstraße 19 is a useful landmark. August-Hillert-Platz is also in the fair area. The exact site plan for 2027 will be announced later.
Rides and fairground attractions
For the 2026 edition, the local press reported around 50 businesses. These included rides, stalls and food outlets. The attractions at the time included bumper cars, a swing ride and Nightdancer. These examples are from the previous edition, so they are not a confirmed list of participants for 2027. Flecken Harsefeld allocates spaces through an application process. The actual attractions may therefore change next year. Children's activities and game stalls are also usually part of the fair atmosphere.
Food and family activities
Traditionally, sweet and savoury snacks are available among the carousels. There are also various market stalls. The fair invites you to browse, enjoy a treat and meet friends. The shops in the town centre also benefit from the lively fair. Families often have additional children's activities alongside the rides. The 2026 edition included, for example, a puppet show and two evenings of music. It has not yet been officially confirmed whether these activities will return in 2027.

Tradition and programme
Harsefeld's market history dates back to the 18 century. The first market charter was granted in 1763. It covered a market for general goods, horses and livestock. According to the town's regulations, the first market took place in 1766. Today, the town marketing organisation holds two regular annual fairs, in spring and autumn. The autumn date is fixed to the second weekend in September. The date for 2027 can therefore already be calculated. The specific programme of events has not yet been announced.
