Sittensen Autumn Market 2027 in the town centre
The Sittensen Autumn Market takes place in the town centre, around Am Markt and along Mühlenstraße. Showmen set up their rides, food stalls and market stalls there, creating an easily accessible festival area in the heart of town. The collective municipality names the first weekend in October as the fixed event period. Unlike the spring market in March, the Autumn Market also focuses on the Harvest Festival. Many clubs and businesses take part with their own offerings.
Rides for families and funfair fans
The official event overview by the collective municipality mentions children's carousels, bumper cars, a large festival tent and numerous food stalls. There are usually also games stalls and other rides. This means young children and older funfair fans can find different things to enjoy. Which rides and operators 2027 will actually be there has not yet been confirmed. Therefore, showmen from 2026 have not been listed as participants in the new year without verification. An up-to-date line-up of rides will be added only after confirmation.
Sittensen Autumn Market 2027: Harvest Festival and parade
A highlight is the Harvest Festival parade on the first Sunday in October, that is, on 3 October 2027. The collective municipality describes a large parade with around 50 to 80 decorated floats, which usually starts at about 13:30. The local heritage association's overview already lists the Harvest Festival for 3 October 2027. Afterwards, there is traditionally a ceremony at the local history centre, followed by coffee and freshly baked butter cake. The organiser will publish the exact schedule and any changes before the festival.
Puppet theatre, music and fireworks
Regional event coverage of the Autumn Market 2026 mentions puppet theatre for children alongside the rides. Fireworks at Mühlenteich were also announced for the Saturday at the time. Such activities highlight the market's special focus on families. However, it has not been confirmed whether they will take place again on 2 October 2027. Therefore, no unconfirmed fireworks times or performers have been listed in the new programme.
Shopping and autumn specialities
Shops and businesses traditionally take part in the Autumn Market too. Some shops also open on Sunday for a spot of shopping. Visitors can also discover regional goods, drinks and sweet or savoury snacks at the market stalls. The combination of the market, parade and shopping creates a varied atmosphere. Note that shop opening hours may differ from ride opening hours. Admission to the public market area has traditionally been free, though some activities cost extra.
