Memmingen Funfair 2026: Nine days full of thrills, market life, and autumn atmosphere
When Memmingen's city center transforms into a vibrant amusement mile in October, the most beautiful time of autumn begins for many families, funfair fans, and market lovers. From October 10 to 18, 2026, the Memmingen Funfair attracts visitors with modern rides and attractions, game booths, culinary classics, and the traditional market.
Festival atmosphere between rides and booths
A spacious funfair area is created in the heart of the city around Westertorplatz, Königsgraben, St.-Josefs-Kirchplatz, Kaisergraben, and Schweizerberg. Blinking lights, music from the rides, and the scent of roasted almonds and hearty fairground cuisine characterize this multi-day experience.
The festival atmosphere ranges from the family-friendly carousel to high-speed thrills. Visitors will experience a varied mix of modern showman technology, traditional attractions, and lively Memmingen market culture.
TopSpin No 1, Parkour, and Alpenrausch
TopSpin No 1 at Westertorplatz provides spectacular rounds upside down. Controllable water fountains make the ride an eye-catching experience for the audience on the ground as well. Parkour combines an elaborately designed backdrop with action-packed, family-friendly entertainment without loops.
In the running attraction Alpenrausch, fun, excitement, and varied stations await. A chain carousel, Dumbo children flyers, children’s carousels, duck fishing, mini mobile, and a safari trip complement the lineup for families with younger children.
Spookiness, speed, and a wide view over Memmingen
At St.-Josefs-Kirchplatz, the Ferris wheel with 24 cabins lifts the funfair above the city rooftops. Up to eight persons fit in the cabins. The view of Memmingen, the historic downtown, and the colorful funfair activity makes the ride a calm highlight between the fast attractions.
The Ghost Cave brings a themed scare experience to the funfair. New figures from the USA, scare effects, and particularly atmospheric design cater to brave guests. Music Express, bumper cars, Magic Castle, and other attractions add more movement to the festival grounds.
Market with over 250 stalls
The Memmingen funfair combines funfair and market tradition. From Tuesday to Thursday, the market invites visitors to stroll through the city center. Over 250 stalls offer a wide variety of goods, making the market a fixed part of Memmingen's event culture.
Shooting galleries, game and throwing booths provide entertainment and small moments of success. Numerous snack stands serve hearty funfair classics, while sweets, roasted specialties, and other treats shape the culinary side of the autumn festival.
A funfair tradition since 1541
The Memmingen funfair is historically deep-rooted in the city's history. The event has been documented since 1541. Since the 18th century, the traditional date has been in October around the feast day of Saint Gallus. The funfair area has complemented the market area at least since the early 20th century.
Thus, the funfair connects history, showman trade, and modern leisure entertainment. The festival organization distributes attractions across several locations, transforming the city center into an open event space for various generations.

The funfair is open on Saturday and Sunday from 11 AM to 10 PM. On Monday and Friday, the hours are from 12 PM to 10 PM. From Tuesday to Thursday, the funfair opens from 9 AM to 10 PM. The market takes place from Tuesday to Thursday from 9 AM to 8 PM.
