Schwedt/Oder – Schwedter Oktoberfest 2027
What to expect
Schwedter Oktoberfest 2027 officially takes place from Friday, 24 September, to Sunday, 26 September 2027. The city of Schwedt/Oder already lists the date among its annual highlights. The fair extends across Alter Markt, Oderstraße and neighbouring areas. Rides, music, a festival tent and regional food and drink characterise the last weekend in September.
Schwedter Oktoberfest 2027: officially confirmed date
In its annual overview for 2027, the city of Schwedt/Oder gives the dates as 24 to 26 September. This means that the last weekend in September has already been set for the next edition. According to official information, the city's event contract with IK Event also covers the years 2025 to 2027. However, the detailed daily programme for the new edition has not yet been fully published. Specific performers, ride operators and special activities have therefore not yet been announced. The official basic details still make it easier to plan your trip in advance.
Alter Markt, Oderstraße and Hugenottenpark
The city centre becomes a fairground on the last weekend in September. The well-known market areas are Alter Markt, Oderstraße as far as Bollwerk, and Europäischer Hugenottenpark. Areas for rides, stalls, food and drink, and stages are set up there. Depending on the layout, a walk around the site takes you through various streets and squares. The map location at Alter Markt marks the central event site. The exact positioning of the attractions may differ from the previous year's edition, so check the new site plan before your visit.
Schwedter Oktoberfest 2027: Ferris wheel and funfair
For 2026, the city listed around 30 rides and fun modules as part of the fair. These included a Ferris wheel around 40 metres high, bumper cars, a caterpillar ride, Butterfly Twister and several family attractions. This mix appeals to children as well as fans of traditional funfairs. However, the specific showmen for 2027 have not yet been confirmed. The attractions from the previous year should therefore not automatically be associated with the new event. Suitable attraction profiles can be added once current announcements are available.
Festival tent, music and a special atmosphere
A public festival tent and a large stage are part of the familiar Schwedter Oktoberfest concept. In 2026, live music, DJs and other entertainment were planned. Local musicians and clubs also took part. The detailed programme for 2027 will only be confirmed in a new announcement. This listing therefore does not show previous performance times or performers as confirmed. You can still look forward to the typical mix of an autumn fair, music and lively town life.
Family activities and special event days
Schwedter Oktoberfest offered numerous rides for children as well in 2026. The city also organised special activities with local clubs and an inclusion day. During this event, invited people with disabilities and their companions could use the rides free of charge for a limited time. These activities are valuable examples of the event's family-friendly approach. It has not yet been confirmed whether they will take place in the same form in 2027. The specific dates from the previous year are therefore not listed as new programme events. A new official programme may add these details later.
Admission, food and drink, and times yet to be announced
According to official city information, admission to Schwedter Oktoberfest was generally free. You pay separately for rides, games, drinks and food. More than 30 food and drink stalls were part of the offer last season, preferably run by local operators. The city also reported around 70 stalls and attractions in total. These figures apply to 2026 and are not a confirmed line-up of rides for 2027. The previous edition began at around 16 on Friday and at about 11 at weekends. Complete general closing times for each day in 2027 have not yet been published.
Getting to Schwedt an der Oder
Schwedt (Oder) railway station is a convenient starting point for a visit to the city centre. From there, you can reach Alter Markt by local bus or on foot. Drivers can find car parks in the surrounding area, although some road sections may be closed during the festival. You should therefore check the city's traffic arrangements before setting off. The city centre can be busier, especially on Saturday evening. A walk along the festival route connects Alter Markt with Bollwerk and the other squares.
