Rides at Foire de la Saint-Denis 2027
In its official announcement for 2026, the city mentioned around 130 attractions and activities. This figure refers to the last edition and is not a confirmed line-up of rides for 2027. The event usually features carousels, rides and game stalls. The specific attractions coming this time have not yet been announced, so we are not listing any individual rides as confirmed.
French specialities and funfair atmosphere
At fairs like this, you can also find sweet and savoury treats among the rides. The city particularly highlights Croustillons and Chichis, two popular French funfair specialities. You can also stroll around the fairground and enjoy the atmosphere in the evening. Prices and the exact food and drink options for the 2027 edition have not yet been confirmed.
Opening times and special events
The opening times for 2027 have not yet been announced. For guidance, the calendar shows the most recently published official opening times for 2026: Sundays to Thursdays from 14:30 to 23:00, and Fridays and Saturdays until 01:00. Times may vary on certain days. The city also organised fireworks and days with discounted ride prices in 2026. It is not yet known whether these events will take place again in 2027, so we are not providing specific dates.
History of the traditional autumn fair
The city of Saint-Quentin traces the roots of the Foire to historical trading privileges and a charter dating from 1319. Over time, the original market developed into a leisure event with showmen. This history makes the Foire more than an ordinary funfair weekend. At the same time, today's programme is a separate event whose details must be confirmed anew each year.
