Celebrating 420 years, Detmold's Andreasmesse remains a premier fairground tradition. From November 25 to 29, 2026, the historic old town and Kronenplatz transform into a massive 18,000 square-meters amusement park. Featuring roughly 180 showmen and exhilarating carousels, this family-friendly mega-event invites everyone to 'step up and enjoy the ride.' Held annually the week before the first Advent, it turns the entire city center upside down for five days of excitement. Don't miss this historic institution where tradition meets modern thrills in the heart of Detmold!

Held every first Thursday in December, Kläschen dates back to 1365. A miles-long market winds through Lemgo's historic center, offering unique gifts and delicious treats. While thrill-seekers enjoy diverse fairground rides at Regenstorplatz, the Market Square features charitable stalls serving mulled wine. Experience this legendary tradition where festive spirit meets a vibrant, centuries-old fairground atmosphere for all ages.
