Rahlstedter Frühjahrsmarkt

Family Funfair in Rahlstedt

The Rahlstedter Frühjahrsmarkt is one of the classic family events in eastern Hamburg. With its carousels, rides, game stalls, and food stands, it follows the typical North German funfair format – not an experimental festival, but a reliable family date that has been held on Heestweg in the Rahlstedt district for years.

2026 Programme

The 2026 market runs from Friday, June 12th, to Monday, June 15th. Heestweg in Hamburg's Rahlstedt district transforms into a festival mile for four days with a classic funfair offering:

• Rides: Ferris wheel for views over Rahlstedt, Crazy Mouse for the brave, smaller carousels for the little ones
• Game Stalls: Shooting galleries, throwing games, lucky dips, bumper cars
• Food Stalls: Bratwurst, fries, crêpes, candied almonds, cotton candy, Schmalzkuchen (traditional doughnuts)
• Drinks: Beer, wine, soft drinks, cocktails in the beer tent
• Children's Activities: free bouncy castle, face painting
