Summer funfair in the heart of the canal city
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.
The Rendsburg Summer Market in the city centre follows the classic showman format:
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 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.
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.
Detailed opening hours for each day will be published shortly before the event by Rendsburg Tourismus + Marketing GmbH. Based on experience: typical opening hours are 2 PM–10 PM on weekdays, longer hours on weekends.
By car: A7 motorway, exit Rendsburg/Büdelsdorf, then follow signs for the city centre. By train: Rendsburg station (direct connections Hamburg–Flensburg via the spectacular railway high bridge). Parking: Multi-storey car parks and parking lots in the city centre.
Free (rides are subject to a charge).
