Zwickau – Zwickauer Herbstvolksfest 2027

According to the Schaustellerverband, Zwickauer Herbstvolksfest 2027 officially takes place from 1 to 17 October 2027 at Platz der Völkerfreundschaft. The specific programme and line-up of rides have not yet been announced.

Zwickauer Herbstvolksfest 2027: confirmed date

The Zwickau Showmen's Association gives 2027 the 1 to 17 October for the autumn edition. This means the long festival weekend, along with two full weeks, is already firmly planned. The venue remains Platz der Völkerfreundschaft. If you would like to plan your visit early, you can make a note of the dates. The individual highlights of the new edition have not yet been announced. We are therefore not carrying over performance dates, discounts or fireworks dates from the previous season.

Fair on Platz der Völkerfreundschaft

The large square is a well-known venue for fairs in Zwickau. In autumn, rides, game stalls and food outlets traditionally stand side by side here. The fairground is also used for the spring edition. The two funfairs are separate events and should not be confused. The exact layout of the site and parking arrangements for 2027 have not yet been announced. Visitors should therefore follow the organiser's latest guidance and, in particular, keep residents' areas clear.

Zwickau Autumn Fair 2027: rides

For the 2026 edition, the organiser reported rides including Beach Monster, Europarad, Break Dance, Flying Queens and Walzerfahrt. There were also bumper cars, Beach Jumper and several children's rides. The list shows how varied the fair was the previous year. However, it is not a confirmed line-up of rides for 2027. Individual showmen may change or visit other venues. Once an up-to-date list is available, confirmed attractions can be added without repeating unconfirmed appearances from previous years.

Family activities and entertainment

At the autumn fair, two Wednesdays were promoted as family days in 2026. The programme also included stage events, a lantern procession, music and light shows. These activities often turn a visit focused on rides into a longer family outing. The new programme will determine whether and when these activities take place in 2027. For discount offers in particular, it is worth checking the official website so that you do not mistake dates from previous years for those of the new edition.

Admission, food and opening hours

General admission to the fairground was free at previous editions. Rides, games, food and drinks are paid for separately. According to the organiser, the funfair opened daily from 14 o'clock in 2026. However, the full daily opening hours for 2027 have not yet been announced. We are therefore not listing an invented schedule for now. If opening hours vary again, the individual days will be listed separately in the updated schedule.

Food and getting there

The previous season's fair included savoury snacks, confectionery and a beer garden, among other things. The exact selection may change. If you are travelling by train, check the latest services to Zwickau and onward connections to the fairground. Drivers should use the signposted parking areas at Platz der Völkerfreundschaft. The Showmen's Association specifically asks visitors not to use residents' parking spaces.

Plan your visit and get the latest information

The site is expected to be particularly busy at weekends, although no official visitor forecasts have been published yet. If you are planning a visit for a particular ride, check the new line-up of rides once it is announced. The rides listed for 2026 are only an archive retrospective. The Kirmestermine.eu calendar also lists other fairs and folk festivals in Saxony. This makes it easy to combine your visit with other events in the region.
