Rhine funfair in Düsseldorf
From 17 to 26 July 2026, the left bank of the Rhine in Düsseldorf was once again transformed into a vast funfair landscape. The largest funfair on the Rhine invites visitors to enjoy ten days packed with fairground rides, lights and views of the Rhine. As is traditional, visitors can look forward to numerous fairground operators from Germany and abroad offering a varied programme for the whole family – from classic attractions to modern rides. The Rheinkirmes is also closely linked to the city’s shooting club tradition: the St. Sebastianus Shooting Club, which is over 700 years old, celebrates the name day of its patron saint, St. Apollinaris, on 23 July together with more than 1,500 members.
From the funfair to the city
The Rhine funfair is a highlight - but Düsseldorf has much more to offer! If you only visit the city for the colorful hustle and bustle on the Rhine, you're missing out on the best. Whether it's a stroll through the old town, a visit to one of the renowned museums or a guided tour: Düsseldorf invites you to stay. Extend your stay and discover the diversity of the city - at your own pace.
