Hartberg – Kathrein-Kirtag 2027

Kathrein-Kirtag Hartberg 2027 is expected to take place on Thursday, 25 November 2027 in Hartberg. The exact edition 2027 has not yet been officially announced; the date follows the traditional schedule. Here you’ll find practical information about market stalls, admission, opening times and how to get there.

Kathrein-Kirtag Hartberg 2027: date and official status

Hartberg’s traditional Kathrein-Kirtag is held on the feast day of Saint Catherine. The municipality names 25 November as the official market day for 2026 and explains its historical connection with the former Kolomanmarkt. As the market traditionally takes place on 25 November, the date for 2027 is Thursday, 25 November. No separate announcement for 2027 has been published so far.

Market site and visiting the town centre

The market is spread across Hauptplatz and Hartberg’s pedestrian zone. The market area is in the heart of the historic town, making it easy to combine a visit with a stroll around the town centre. Shops and places to eat are also nearby. For its annual markets, the municipality gives around 70 market traders as a typical figure. The vendors actually registered for 2027 have not yet been made public.

History and significance of the fair

Hartberg’s market tradition goes back a long way: a market site already existed in Herrengasse in 1128. Later, Hauptplatz became an important market area. The municipality explains that Kathrein-Kirtag developed from an older market held on Kolomanstag. The former trading market is now a traditional goods market. You’ll therefore find a different atmosphere here from that of a modern, multi-day funfair with large rides.

Kathrein-Kirtag Hartberg 2027: market stalls and visitor facilities

Typical goods at a town kirtag like this include a changing range of market stalls and seasonal offers. These may include household items, textiles, gift ideas and other goods. However, the municipality only publishes the exact list of stalls for each edition or on site. We therefore don’t name any retailers as supposedly confirmed. No specific announcements have been made about possible additional music events for 2027 either.

Rides and other attractions

There is no evidence of a large-scale amusement park at this edition. Nor are the names of mechanical rides and their operators included in an official list for 2027. We therefore don’t include attractions from other markets in the region. The main reason to visit is the traditional goods market and its town-centre setting. If you’re specifically looking for rides, check the latest programme before travelling.

Opening hours, admission and prices

Provisional opening times, as of 2026: Hartberg municipality gave the market hours for Kathrein-Kirtag 2026 as 7 to 18:30. These official hours from the previous year are also shown in the calendar as a guide until a new schedule is announced. Based on the event format to date, you can visit the public market without an admission ticket. Purchases, food and drinks cost extra. No separate admission arrangements for the 2027 edition have been announced so far.

Getting there, parking and further information

Hauptplatz in the centre of Hartberg is a convenient starting point. The map address is Hauptplatz 10, 8230 Hartberg. Parking in and around the town centre and bus connections depend on where you’re travelling from. Be aware that some roads may be closed during the market. You should therefore check the town’s latest traffic and parking information before your visit. You can also find other events in Styria in the funfair calendar. Official updates are published by the municipality.
