Herbstvolksfest 2027: fairground and attractions
Nuremberg Volksfest combines modern rides with classics, family attractions, walk-through attractions and amusement stalls. The organiser also describes the offer as a mix of roller coasters, fast carousels and nostalgic attractions. However, a named list of showmen for Herbstvolksfest 2027 has not yet been published. Individual rides and new attractions from previous years are therefore not automatically confirmed for 2027.
Festival tents and food
Franconian dishes, festival beer, confectionery and snack stalls are traditional parts of Nuremberg Volksfest. The official website also lists several festival catering venues that can be reserved for current editions. Which tents, beer gardens and food businesses will take part in autumn 2027 has not yet been confirmed. Booking times, menus and prices have also not yet been published.
Programme and family days
Nuremberg Herbstvolksfest is regularly accompanied by special days, shows and special offers. A family day with discounted offers is usually held on Wednesdays from 14 to 21 o'clock. However, the exact dates and terms for 2027 still need to be confirmed. Fireworks, a vintage car parade, historic transport, senior citizens' afternoons and other themed evenings have also not yet been officially announced for this edition.
History and significance
The official history of the festival dates back to 1826. In 2026, Nuremberg Herbstvolksfest celebrated its 200th anniversary. The organiser also reports that Nuremberg Volksfest receives more than two million visits in total. However, this general figure is not a forecast for autumn 2027. The festival's character is shaped by the combination of showman traditions, modern entertainment and Franconian food.
Admission and visitor information
No separate admission price for access to Herbstvolksfest 2027 has been published. You pay for rides, games, food and drinks at the respective businesses; specific prices for 2027 are not yet available. Weekends and special programme events may also be busier. Please observe the safety rules: among other things, animals may not be brought onto the grounds under the published Volksfest regulations.
Tips for your visit to Nuremberg
You can also combine a visit to the fair with a walk around the large festival site. So be sure to plan time for both the rides and the quieter areas with food and drink. The Nürnberger Volksfest also traditionally offers activities for families and children.
Popular attractions can get busy, especially at weekends. An earlier visit is therefore a good idea if you’re with young children. Travelling by public transport is also usually easier than looking for a parking space nearby. It’s also worth checking the organiser’s website once the specific programme of events for 2027 has been published.
