Karlsruhe Spring Festival of Showmen 2026
2025
Edition 2025 — Finished
Edition 2025 — Karlsruhe Spring Festival
Spring Festival 2025
The 2025 edition once again attracted thousands of visitors from Karlsruhe, the surrounding region, and the Palatinate to the Messplatz. The format of the “little Mess'" has established itself as a reliable spring opener — more compact than the Autumn Mess', but with the same Mess' atmosphere.
In 2025, the Spring Festival was marked by slight price adjustments — the showmen reacted to increased energy and operating costs. Free admission to the fairground was maintained, as was the Family Day with children's discounts. With “Diablos Residenz", the new haunted house was built in 2025, which will be at the Karlsruhe Mess' for the first time in 2026.
