Potsdam – Potsdam October Fair 2027

Potsdam October Fair 2027 is scheduled to take place in Potsdam from 01.10.2027 to 24.10.2027. The date of 1 to 24 October 2027 is a cautious estimate based on the organiser's period 2026, not an edition that has already been officially confirmed as 2027. The fairground at Neuer Lustgarten, however, is confirmed by the organiser's website.

Potsdam October Fair 2027: funfair at Neuer Lustgarten

Potsdam October Fair is held at Neuer Lustgarten, near the historic centre. The site is close to the banks of the Havel and has a large paved area for showmen and food stalls. For 2026, the organiser confirmed a four-week fair period from 2 to 25 October. We therefore initially expect a similar period from early to late October for 2027. A separate date announcement for 2027 has not yet been made, so changes are possible.

Potsdam October Fair 2027: rides and attractions

The October Fair's character includes the funfair and a colourful range of rides, children's carousels, game stalls and food stands. The exact line-up depends on the participating showmen and can vary from year to year. Therefore, no specific line-up with operator details is yet available for 2027. For large rides in particular, a similar name alone does not prove that they will be taking part. Suitable attraction profiles can be added once current commitments are announced.

Potsdam October Fair 2027: festive atmosphere

The name combines the late-summer and autumn funfair atmosphere with elements of an Oktoberfest. In previous years, typical fair food and drink, including hearty dishes, was available, while the rides provided entertainment for different age groups. The festival site is very central, making it suitable for a spontaneous visit to the city too. However, individual programme items, possible music events and family days for the 2027 edition have not yet been officially confirmed. Therefore, there are no fixed dates for these events for now.

Admission and opening hours

According to the official organiser, the October Fair 2026 normally opened from 14 o'clock. Entry to Neuer Lustgarten was free, while rides and refreshments were paid for separately. It has not yet been confirmed whether exactly the same opening hours and conditions will apply in 2027. No fixed timetable has therefore been entered for the new dates. The start time, closing times and any days when the fair is closed will need to be added once the organiser makes an announcement. Plan a specific visit only after the daily opening times have been published.

Getting there and traffic arrangements

Neuer Lustgarten is on Henning-von-Tresckow-Straße in central Potsdam, near the main railway station. Many tram and bus routes serve the surrounding area, so travelling by public transport is a good option. If you come by car, you can use car parks near the station and in the city centre. However, traffic on the roads around Lustgarten may be heavier during set-up and the event. Look out for temporary parking and traffic notices.

Official source and other funfairs

The organiser's website for Potsdam October Fair currently still lists the period 2026. The edition for 2027 is therefore explicitly described as provisional on this page for now. You can find more autumn funfairs and fairs in Brandenburg in the funfair calendar. There you can compare dates, locations and possible travel plans. Later information from the organiser always takes precedence over a forecast based on the previous year.
