Wermelskirchen Autumn funfair 2027: Funfair site and atmosphere
The main funfair areas are Schwanenplatz and Loches-Platz. The two squares are connected by Obere and Untere Eich and other streets. The market stalls are located nearby in Jörgensgasse, Schillerstraße and Kattwinkelstraße. This means you can follow a longer circular route between modern rides and a wide variety of market stalls. Parts of the town centre are closed to road traffic during the festival. Schwanenplatz is a useful landmark for finding your way around.
Rides and showmen
For the 2026 event, the town announced around 100 funfair attractions, including 13 larger rides and show attractions. The selection at the time ranged from classics to larger new attractions. These figures relate to 2026 and do not automatically confirm the line-up of rides for 2027. A new, confirmed list of rides is still awaited. For this reason, no individual attractions from the previous year are currently listed as confirmed. Children's carousels and traditional funfair stalls are usually part of the offering.
Food and family activities
The 2026 market had around 130 to 140 traders. The range included household goods and clothing, as well as jewellery, decorations and confectionery. Food and drink stalls also add variety to the funfair. For example, you can browse the market lanes and then take a break at a food stall. Social meeting places and entertainment are also part of Wermelskirchen's fair tradition. The exact offering changes every year.
