Memmingen Fair 2026: Thrill, Nostalgia, and Merchant Market Atmosphere
From October 10 to 18, 2026, the Memmingen Fair will transform the city center into a lively amusement park. About 80 showmen, rides, game stalls, and food stands invite visitors to an exciting shopping experience and autumn stroll for the whole family.
Fun Rides at Westertorplatz
At Westertorplatz, TopSpin No 1 offers spectacular upside-down rides, the family-friendly Parkour, and the running attraction Alpenrausch create an intense fair atmosphere. A chain carousel, children’s carousels, Dumbo flying elephants, duck fishing, mini-mobility, and Safari Trip complement the offerings for young and old fairgoers.
Giant Wheel, Music Express, and Haunted Cave
At St. Joseph's Church Square, the Giant Wheel with 24 cabins, the Music Express, and the new Haunted Cave with themed scare effects await. From the Giant Wheel, there is a broad view over Memmingen and the colorful activities in the city center. At Königsgraben, Hupferl and the Magic Castle promise additional entertainment.
Merchant Market with Regional Market Character
From October 13 to 15, the traditional Merchant Market will complement the amusement park. About 90 vendors will present household goods, ceramics, cleaning products, jewelry, and leather goods. A versatile market area for browsing, discovering, and haggling will be created between Roßmarkt, Weinmarkt, Maximilianstraße, and Hallhof.

Shooting galleries, game and throwing stalls bring excitement and small winning moments.
