About Frühjahrskrammarkt Stadthagen

The Frühjahrskrammarkt in Stadthagen traditionally kicks off the fair season in the Schaumburg district town. From March 20 to 24, 2026, the fairground on Enzer Straße will transform into a colorful entertainment area with around 80 showmen, rides, food stalls, and sales booths. The market continues the tradition of centuries-old Stadthagen fairs and is one of the most popular spring fairs in the Schaumburg region of Lower Saxony. A Sunday with open shops on March 22 and a ground fireworks display on Family Sunday, March 24, are highlights of the five-day event. Families, fair enthusiasts, and the citizens of Stadthagen meet at the Krammarkt for carousels, Ferris wheels, crêpes, and cotton candy.

Fair Tradition in the Schaumburg District Town

The Frühjahrskrammarkt in Stadthagen looks back on a long history. Centuries ago, traders, showmen, and jugglers would come to the district town in spring to offer goods and provide entertainment. Today, this tradition lives on in the form of a modern folk festival that attracts tens of thousands of visitors from the entire Schaumburg district and neighboring districts every year.

Enzer Straße Fairground

The venue for the event is the fairground on Enzer Straße in Stadthagen. Around 80 showmen present rides, sales booths, food stalls, and game stands. The range of attractions extends from the classic chain carousel and the Ferris wheel to modern roller coasters. Food stalls serve bratwurst, French fries, crêpes, candied almonds, and cotton candy.

Sunday with Open Shops

On Sunday, March 22, 2026, the town of Stadthagen invites you to a Sunday with open shops. Shops in the town center will open their doors and offer an attractive shopping experience. Many visitors combine their shopping trip with a visit to the nearby Krammarkt – a proven combination that enlivens the town center.

Family Sunday with Ground Fireworks

The Krammarkt concludes on Tuesday, March 24, with Family Day. Reduced prices on rides and a ground fireworks display mark the end of the festival. Families with children often use this day to enjoy the attractions in a relaxed atmosphere.
