Munich – Auer Maidult 2027
What to expect
Auer Maidult 2027: From Saturday, 24 April, to Sunday, 2 May 2027, Mariahilfplatz in Munich's Au district will once again become a lively market with rides and Bavarian specialities. The City of Munich has officially announced the dates. The market stalls open daily at 10, and the rides start at 10:30. Closing time is 20 each day.
Auer Maidult 2027 at Mariahilfplatz
The Maidult is the first of three Auer Dult fairs held during the year. Mariahilfplatz also offers a special mix of a traditional goods market, second-hand stalls, food and drink, and a fair. You can browse crockery, household goods, handicrafts, antiques, traditional Bavarian clothing and toys. The rides and stalls also offer a chance to take a break from shopping.
The Dult is also a long-standing Munich tradition. As early as 1796, the suburb of Au was granted the right to hold two annual fairs. Today, the City of Munich's Department of Labour and Economic Development organises the Auer Dult. Around 250 pitches make up the market; the range of individual traders may vary from one edition to the next.
Rides, games stalls and Dult specialities
As well as the large goods market, carousels and nostalgic rides are a defining feature of the Auer Dult. The Munich city portal lists a swing ride, the Ferris wheel 1925, bumper cars, children's carousels, shooting galleries and the Kasperltheater among the typical attractions. This does not yet confirm which specific operators will be there for 2027.
If you get hungry along the way, traditional specialities are on offer, such as grilled fish on a stick, roast chicken, sausages, sweet baked goods and other Bavarian treats. So, as well as strolling through the Tandlergassen, it's worth stopping by the snack stalls and beer gardens.
Auer Maidult 2027: Opening times and family day
The Auer Maidult runs for nine days, from 24 April to 2 May 2027. The market opens at 10 every day; rides open from 10:30. The market and showmen's area close at 20. So note that the rides start a little later.
Tuesday, 27 April 2027 is family day. The city has announced discounts in the showmen's area for this day. This can be especially worthwhile if you want to try several rides with children. You can find out about the specific offers from participating businesses on site.
