Neustadt (Hesse) – 523. Trinity Funfair 2027

Trinitatis-Kirmes Neustadt 2027 begins on Thursday, 20 May 2027, in Neustadt (Hessen). Mayor Thomas Groll explicitly announced this opening after the 2026 funfair for the 523 Trinitatis-Kirmes. Based on previous years, the fair is expected to run until Monday, 24 May 2027; the exact end date has not been confirmed separately for 2027. The funfair brings together the historic town centre, marksmen’s and club traditions, a procession and rides at the festival site on Lehmkaute.

Trinitatis Fair Neustadt 2027: Date and edition

The first day of the fair, Thursday, 20 May, is confirmed by the mayor’s announcement. The remaining period through Monday follows the established Thursday-to-Monday schedule in 2025 and 2026. We are therefore listing 24 May 2027 only as the expected end date for now. The correct numbering is also important: the 522 Trinity Fair was held in 2026, and the 523 edition follows in 2027. The alternative name “522 Trinity Fair 2027” is incorrect.

Lehmkaute fairground and funfair

The funfair traditionally takes place at the fairground in Lehmkaute in 35279 Neustadt. Rides and carousels, games and prize stalls, food stalls and the festival tent featured in previous editions. However, the specific attractions for 2027 have not yet been announced. We therefore do not list any rides from 2026 as confirmed participants 2027. It is best to plan your visit in detail once the town has published the programme and line-up of rides.

Tradition since 1504 and opening on Thursday

The Trinitatis funfair dates back to the dedication of the town parish church in 1504 and is one of the region’s oldest festival traditions. Most recently, the festival began with an ecumenical service and other customs around the Wallgrabenpavillon. These included, for example, the ceremonial keg tapping and the introduction of Junker Hans. Thursday is therefore traditionally the ceremonial opening; in previous years, the regular funfair on Lehmkaute did not begin until Friday. Which programme events will actually take place on 20 May 2027 has yet to be announced separately.

Trinitatis Fair Neustadt 2027: Parade and programme

A large parade has been one of the highlights of the local heritage festival for many years. In 2026, there was also music in the festival tent, fireworks and, to round things off, a family day with reduced ride prices. It has not yet been confirmed whether these programme items will return in the same way in 2027. That is why we are not listing any supposedly confirmed dates or times for the parade, fireworks or performers. Once the town publishes the official programme, the details can be added for each day.

Opening hours and admission

The daily opening hours for the rides for 2027 have not yet been published. The same applies to confirmed prices or admission arrangements for individual events. For 2026, the showmen's attractions had different start times on festival days. Such details are not transferred to 2027 without checking. The festival tent and rides may also operate at different times. Charges may apply for rides, food and drinks.

Getting there and further information
