A historic funfair town

Rendsburg is the district town of Rendsburg-Eckernförde in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, located on the Kiel Canal and the Eider river. The town has a long tradition as a trade and transport hub — and with this tradition come the funfairs. Funfairs have been a fixture in Rendsburg for generations; four dates per year are coordinated by Rendsburg Tourismus + Marketing GmbH: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and a pre-Christmas event.

What to expect

The Rendsburg Summer Market in the city centre follows the classic showman format:

  • Rides for all generations — children's carousels, Ferris wheel, dodgems, modern Breakdancer (one of the crowd-pullers)
  • Classic market stalls — shooting galleries, ring toss, sweets stall
  • Culinary delights — Bratwurst, fries, crêpes, candied almonds, candy floss
  • Fun and games for the whole family

Showman families for generations

Remarkable: The showman families who set up their attractions in Rendsburg have been connected to the town for generations. This gives the Rendsburg funfairs a distinctive family character — unlike the large showman markets in Hamburg or Kiel, where exhibitors change.

Admission and canal atmosphere

Admission to the fairground is free; payment is only required for rides and stalls. Those who combine the market with a visit to the locks on the Kiel Canal or a walk across the famous transporter bridge will experience Rendsburg at its finest summer form — canal ships, the railway high bridge, showman lights, and the bustle of a North German district town.

Rendsburg Summer Market — edition 2026

The Rendsburg Summer Market 2026 runs from July 3 to 6 in the city centre of Rendsburg. Rides for all age groups, classic market stalls, sweets, and snacks — the summer funfair of the canal city in the Rendsburg-Eckernförde district, organised by Rendsburg Tourismus + Marketing GmbH. Free admission.

Summer Market 2026 — four days of funfair

From July 3 to 6, 2026, the city centre of Rendsburg will transform into a funfair. The organiser is Rendsburg Tourismus + Marketing GmbH. The date is officially listed in the event calendar (rendsburg-tourismus-marketing.de/veranstaltungen/jahrmaerkte).

As in previous years, rides for all age groups — from children's carousels and classic shooting galleries to the modern Breakdancer — will turn the city centre into a festival ground. The showman families who set up their stalls in Rendsburg have been connected to the town for generations.
