Rinteln – Rintelner Herbstmesse 2026

Rinteln's Herbstmesse 2026 runs from 06.11.2026 to 09.11.2026 in Rinteln. This traditional autumn fair brings funfair attractions to Rinteln's historic old town, making it a varied day out for families and anyone who enjoys strolling around markets.

Rintelner Herbstmesse 2026: What to expect

The town lists Jumpstreet, Twister, Hangover, bumper cars and Musikexpress. The official opening is on Friday at 16, Sunday is a shopping Sunday, and Monday is family day. All listed programme items come from the official information for the respective edition. Further rides will be added only after they have been confirmed by the organisers. Programme items may also be changed at short notice or postponed due to weather.

The Rintelner Herbstmesse dates back to a market privilege granted in the year 1392. The town describes an offering with more than 80 showmen and market traders. For 2026, the announced attractions include Jumpstreet, Twister, Hangover, bumper cars, Musikexpress and the Geisterbahn Walk of Dead. The combination of rides in the market and church squares and a stroll through the historic town centre is particularly appealing. The town also says that the fair areas are largely wheelchair-accessible.

Special features and highlights

The market opens daily at 14, and at 13 on Sunday. No official closing times have been announced. The different market areas are usually easy to explore on foot. It's worth taking a walk around, as you can often find additional attractions away from the main rides. Please note that individual side attractions and stalls may have different opening times.

Rintelner Herbstmesse 2026: opening hours and days off

The confirmed daily opening times are listed in our overview. If the official sources have not yet published full opening times, we don't add estimated closing times here. Opening times may differ from regular market days, especially on days with special programmes or public holidays.

Tips for getting to Rinteln

The map shows the central location. It's also worth checking the town's traffic and parking information. Roads nearby may be closed during large annual markets. Public transport is therefore often a good alternative to driving. If large crowds are expected, allow plenty of time to get to the event site.

Funfair atmosphere and food

There's much more to a market visit than just the big rides. You can enjoy a leisurely stroll, take a short break and soak up the special atmosphere. However, offers from showmen and traders may change before the event begins. We therefore don't list food businesses that have not yet been named and confirmed for this year's event.
