Grand Autumn Funfair on the Zentraler Festplatz in Reinickendorf — Classics and Highlights from the Berlin Showmen's Association
The Zentraler Festplatz at Kurt-Schumacher-Damm in Reinickendorf is Berlin's largest permanently used funfair site — hosting the Spring Festival, Berlin Summer Funfair, and finally the Berliner Herbstrummel throughout the year. With the Herbstrummel, the Berlin Showmen's Association e. V. concludes its annual season; a full month of programming during the transition from late summer to early autumn.
In 2026, the Berliner Herbstrummel runs from September 25 to October 25 — exactly one month continuously (with Mondays/Tuesdays as rest days). Opening on Friday, September 25; closing on Sunday, October 25. The venue is the Zentraler Festplatz Berlin at Kurt-Schumacher-Damm 207 in 13405 Berlin (Reinickendorf).
Around 80 showmen set up their attractions on the fairground: classic chain carousels and dodgems, a Ferris wheel, haunted house, family water ride, children's carousels, plus modern high-tech rides. Shooting galleries, candy stalls, bratwurst, crêpes, and currywurst stands, as well as several beer gardens, complement the offerings. Admission to the fairground is free; payment is per attraction (typically €3–€8 per ride).
The programmatic highlight is the two fireworks displays on the Fridays around the opening and closing of the festival: Friday, September 25, 2026, and Friday, October 23, 2026, both at 10:00 PM. Both dates are also clearly visible from adjacent districts (Saatwinkel, Tegel, Jungfernheide) — the fairground is located very close to open spaces and the city border.
Reinickendorf is one of Berlin's largest districts and, with the Zentraler Festplatz, hosts the capital's most important funfair venue. Accessible via U-Bahn line U7 to Jungfernheide or S-Bahn (S41/S42/S46) to Jungfernheide, then bus 109/X9 to the fairground. In the state of Berlin, the Herbstrummel is among the last major funfair dates before the start of the Advent markets and is a must-visit for all who love Berlin's showman tradition.
The Berliner Herbstrummel 2026 continues its established monthly format from previous years: four full weekends between September 25 and October 25, 2026. On the Zentraler Festplatz at Kurt-Schumacher-Damm, around 80 showmen set up a classic Berlin funfair — from the Ferris wheel and family water ride to modern high-tech attractions. The highlights of the program are the two fireworks displays on Fridays, September 25 and October 23, each at 10:00 PM; both are also clearly visible from the nearby Volkspark Jungfernheide.
