Plauener Vogelschießen 2027 takes place from Friday, 14 May, to Sunday, 23 May 2027 at the festival site by the Festhalle in Plauen. The Festhalle Plauen confirms these ten days in its official events calendar.

If you enjoy rides, food stalls and a fairground atmosphere, this traditional fair in the Vogtland is a worthwhile day out.

Plauener Vogelschießen 2027: dates and venue

The official events calendar lists Friday, 14 May, to Sunday, 23 May 2027. This means the event runs over the Whitsun weekend and the following week. The City of Plauen is named as the organiser, while the Festhalle gives the festival site at Äußere Reichenbacher Straße 8 as the venue. The Festhalle's programme also lists individual event days. The full daily closing times have not yet been published.

621. Plauener Vogelschießen: history and tradition

Plauener Vogelschießen has been part of the city's festival calendar for more than five centuries. The fair originally developed from the marksmen's tradition. Today, it is above all about celebrating together. The organisers explicitly describe the 2027 edition as the 621. Plauener Vogelschießen. The historic number is therefore also reflected in the event title and visitor information. Tradition and modern entertainment come together here at a central festival site.

Plauener Vogelschießen 2027: rides

For families and funfair fans, the rides are among the main reasons to visit. The festival site usually becomes a lively fairground with carousels, game stalls and food and drink options. However, a complete line-up of rides confirmed for 2027 is not yet available. We therefore deliberately do not list any specific rides from the previous year as confirmed participants. The attractions list can be updated as soon as the city or showmen publish reliable information.

Family day out, food and entertainment

According to the official announcement, Vogelschießen is aimed at visitors of all generations. Alongside the rides, food, drinks and meeting friends are all part of the typical fair atmosphere. The festival site by the Festhalle is also a well-established venue in Plauen. It is not yet clear which special activities for children, music acts and food businesses will actually be there in 2027. The organiser may also provide details of individual ride prices or possible discounts at a later date.

Opening hours, admission and programme

The Festhalle lists Vogelschießen from 14 to 23 May 2027 in its calendar and publishes the start times for individual event days. However, a full opening-hours schedule with daily closing times for 2027 is not yet available. The MEC timetable is therefore left blank for now rather than showing unconfirmed closing times. Confirmed details of special event days, possible fireworks and exact entry conditions are also not yet available. Check the latest announcement before your visit.
