Pforzheim – Pforzemer Fair 2027
What to expect
The Pforzemer Mess 2027 takes place from 11 to 20 June 2027 at the Messplatz on Habermehlstraße in Pforzheim. The municipal market administration has confirmed the ten days of festivities on its official website. It also lists the daily opening times and three special events: the opening with a ceremonial keg tapping, a family day and the grand fireworks display. This means you can plan ahead for individual highlights too.
Pforzemer Mess 2027: Fair with a long tradition
The Pforzemer Mess is one of the Gold City’s traditional fairs. Its history goes back a long way: Pforzheim was granted market rights in the Middle Ages, and various historic sites served as venues over the centuries. Since 1960, the event has been held at its current site, Messplatz on Habermehlstraße. There is also a market, so it is worth visiting for more than just the rides.
Rides and showmen at the fairground
At the Mess, you can traditionally enjoy various carousels, games and amusements, stalls and food and drink outlets. However, the individual showmen may change from year to year. No reliable list of specific rides has yet been confirmed for Pforzemer Mess 2027. Therefore, this preview page does not present attractions from previous years or unconfirmed operators as participants in the new edition.
Pforzemer Mess 2027: Opening hours
The city publishes a set daily schedule: the fair opens at midday on weekdays and on the opening day, and a little earlier on Sundays. The event stays open later on Fridays and Saturdays than on the other days. In the structured opening hours, individual days are grouped together appropriately. This lets you see the differences without having to search through a long block of text for each day.
Opening, family day and fireworks
The official opening is celebrated with an accompanying programme and a ceremonial keg tapping in the festival tent. On family day, showmen offer reduced prices and other activities. The second fair weekend also includes a fireworks display. All three dates already announced are listed separately in the programme section. Further specific events or performances will only be added once they have been definitively confirmed for 2027.
Admission, travel and information
Individual rides and attractions charge a fee. The official information page does not yet clearly state an explicit general admission rule for access to the fairground for 2027. Therefore, no unsubstantiated fee is given. For your journey, use the fairground on Habermehlstraße as your destination; during the annual market, regular parking spaces there are limited. The city market administration provides up-to-date visitor information. Find more fairs in our funfair calendar.
