Practical information — Bexbach Fair

Opening Hours

Daily 10 am to 6 pm. From April 29th to May 3rd, 2026, five days of festivities.

Tip

May 1st (Labour Day, public holiday) is the busiest day — arrive early. The oldtimer picnic starts at 11 am. If you want to take advantage of the camper flea market: get up early on Saturday, the best items go quickly. The Blumengarten itself is also a destination for an outing — a walk through the park is part of the fair experience.

The Saarland Camping Tradition

When the first motorhomes roll into the Blumengarten on the last weekend of April, the travel year begins for many people in Saarland. The Bexbach Fair has been the most important destination for camping, caravanning, and motorhomes since 1961 — one of the oldest and most traditional leisure fairs in Southwest Germany. The 65th edition in 2026 honours this history with the motto „From Tarpaulin to Vanlife — 65 Years of Camping Fascination“.

What the Fair Shows

On the extensive fairgrounds in the Blumengarten, around 100 exhibitors present their products: motorhomes, caravans, vans, tents, accessories for every stage of travel and life. In addition, there are vehicles from car manufacturers, with a special focus on sustainable mobility (e-mobility, hybrid, hydrogen). Tourism providers from Saarland and the greater region showcase their travel destinations.

Highlights 2026

Several special events make the 2026 fair more than just a sales show:

May 1st — Spring Market & Oldtimer Picnic: The fairgrounds transform into a spring market with arts and crafts, regional specialities, and a culinary journey through Europe. Classic vehicles gather for the traditional oldtimer meet.
Camper Flea Market on Saturday and Sunday — the largest camping flea market in the region, ideal for bargain hunters and camping enthusiasts.
E-Kart Action Day with ADAC Saarland — free test drives on the e-kart track.
Open Day at the Bexbach Fire Department (Sunday).
Family Bike Tour with two routes of 12 and 22 kilometres (Sunday).
TÜV Weighing Station and ADAC advisory service.

Patronage and Organisers

The patronage has been taken over by Minister President Anke Rehlinger — an indication of the fair's importance for Saarland. Official partners are the ADAC Saarland e.V. and the Saarland Tourism Centre. The fair is organised by the town of Bexbach itself.

Bexbach in the Saarpfalz District

Bexbach is located in the Saarpfalz district, in southeastern Saarland, between Homburg and Neunkirchen, on the edge of the Bliesgau Biosphere Reserve. The town, with around 18,000 inhabitants, has been an important event location since the 1960s — the Blumengarten, a former state garden show site, is one of the most beautiful park fairgrounds in Germany.
