Illmitz – Illmitzer Kirtag 2027
What to expect
Illmitzer Kirtag 2027 is expected to take place from 27.08.2027 to 30.08.2027. Here you can find important information about the market, traditions, location and how to get there.
Illmitzer Kirtag 2027: provisional date
Illmitzer Kirtag is a traditional festival in the Seewinkel region of Burgenland. For 2027, the period from Friday, 27 August, to Monday, 30 August is provisionally planned. The municipality of Illmitz has not yet confirmed an invitation for 2027. The date is based on the tradition of holding it in late August and on the schedule of previous years. In 2026, the festival took place from 28 to 31 August, while in 2025 it was a week earlier. The municipality may therefore set a different period for 2027. Please bear this uncertainty in mind when planning your visit.
Fairground and funfair atmosphere in the main square
The fair usually takes place right on Illmitz’s main square. In 2026, the market town announced several days of fairground activities with rides run by showmen. This creates a classic mix of rides and socialising in the town centre. Other events organised by local clubs also take place at various venues in the town. The main square address is therefore a central reference point, not a statement that all festival activities take place exclusively there.
Illmitzer Kirtag 2027: Kirtag market and traditions
The Illmitzer Kirtag is known for combining fairground attractions, a market and events organised by local clubs. The official programme 2026 included a sports fair on Saturday, the Kirtag market and musical entertainment on Sunday, and the Musikantenkirtag organised by the Illmitz music association on Monday. These individual activities have not yet been confirmed for 2027. This is therefore an overview of the tradition, not a confirmed programme for the new edition. A detailed schedule will be added only after an official announcement.
Rides and family activities
The Kirtag traditionally features a funfair with rides in the main square. However, the names of the showmen and children's rides taking part in 2027 have not yet been published. We therefore do not list rides from previous years as current participants. This also applies specifically to operators who may have been there in previous years. The Kirtag often also includes meeting places with regional food and drink. The organiser decides on the exact line-up for each edition.
Admission and opening hours
No clear public admission policy has yet been confirmed for 2027. The daily operating hours of the rides have also not yet been published. For this reason, no artificial opening-hours schedule with invented times is shown. The separate Kirtag market began at eight o’clock on Sunday in 2026; this earlier time is not a promise for 2027 and does not automatically apply to the rides. Individual ride fares, food and drinks are generally charged separately. Information on these will follow with the new programme.
Getting there and official information
Illmitz is near Lake Neusiedl and can be reached from nearby towns via the road network. The main square may be partly used for the festivities, especially during the Kirtag weekend. If you are travelling by car, check the municipality’s latest access and parking information. You may also want to combine a visit to the Kirtag with activities in the surrounding area. Find more events in the funfair calendar. For the latest information and the festival programme when it becomes available, contact the Illmitz Tourist Information.
