Wermelskirchen – Spring Funfair 2027
What to expect
Wermelskirchen Spring Funfair 2027 takes place from Thursday, 6 May, to Sunday, 9 May 2027. The town of Wermelskirchen has explicitly published these four days in its official funfair calendar. Around Schwanenplatz, you can enjoy the smaller spring counterpart to the big autumn funfair. Opening hours for 2027 have not yet been published.
Wermelskirchen Spring Funfair 2027: Schwanenplatz becomes a fairground
Schwanenplatz is in the heart of Wermelskirchen and has been the centre of the spring funfair in recent years. Here you can stroll among rides, game stalls and food stands. However, the exact layout for 2027 has not yet been published. It is therefore not yet clear which attractions will actually be there this year.
The spring funfair traditionally begins on Ascension Day, making it a destination for the long weekend. Unlike the big autumn funfair, the spring funfair is usually spread over a more compact area. This means many attractions are close together, so you can plan an easy-to-follow walk, even with children.
Rides and treats: what can you expect?
There is no confirmed line-up of rides for 2027 yet. As a look back, the town announced around 30 funfair attractions on Schwanenplatz for 2026. These included a large set of bumper cars, children's attractions and roundabout rides. These examples refer specifically to the previous event; they do not confirm that any of these rides will return.
The food on offer recently also included a mix of sweet classics and savoury dishes. Whether you prefer roasted almonds, crêpes or a bratwurst, which stands will be there for 2027 will only be known once the new site plan is published. Individual ride prices and possible special offers have not yet been announced either.
Wermelskirchen Spring Funfair 2027: dates and opening hours
The official event dates are Thursday, 6 May, Friday, 7 May, Saturday, 8 May, and Sunday, 9 May 2027. Complete official information about the daily opening hours is not yet available. We therefore do not show estimated times here. Last year, the funfair opened at 11 on Ascension Day and closed at around 22 on Sunday; however, this does not establish the daily opening hours for 2027.
Programme and other events in the town centre
In previous years, the town festival “Das Fest”, with Sunday shopping, took place alongside the spring funfair's closing day. Whether and when this additional programme will take place in 2027 has not yet been announced. Confirmed times for a possible opening, activities or other stage events are also not yet available. So check the town's official funfair page shortly before your visit.
Getting to Schwanenplatz
Schwanenplatz is centrally located in Wermelskirchen. During the funfair, nearby streets may be closed and parking may be limited. In 2026, Hohe Straße and Jahnstraße were among the affected streets; the specific traffic arrangements for 2027 are not yet known. If you are travelling by bus or car, check the latest information from the town. For more places to visit, see our funfair calendar, with lots of dates from Germany and neighbouring countries.
