Spring Dippemess

27.03. – 19.04.2026

The start of the festive season

Heartbeat at the Dippemess

As soon as the days get longer and the first warm rays of sunshine hit the city, a very special time begins: the Dippemess spring fair opens its doors again, heralding the start of the festival season.

For three weeks, the fairground on Ratsweg pulsates with countless lights and delights visitors with its unique festive atmosphere. The Dippemess is more than just a folk festival – it is a living tradition, a meeting place for generations and a place where spring is celebrated with all the senses.

Whether it's fast-paced rides, classic carousels or spectacular attractions with guaranteed thrills – there's something here to make everyone's heart beat faster. Those who prefer a more leisurely pace can enjoy a relaxing ride on the Ferris wheel and the view over springtime Frankfurt. Of course, culinary delights are also a must: from sweet temptations such as candyfloss and crêpes to savoury specialities, the Dippemess offers culinary highlights for every taste.

The special atmosphere, the cheerful hustle and bustle and the shared joy make this festival a real spring highlight. Now is the perfect opportunity to leave everyday life behind, meet friends and family and make unforgettable memories.

Come and celebrate spring with us – colourful, lively and full of enthusiasm!

Cuddle alert at the Knirpse-Kirmes!
On Tuesday, 14 April, mascot Bembli is also inviting lots of cuddly friends to the Knirpse-Kirmes! From 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm, the fluffy mascots will be out and about with Bembli at the Dippemess. Come by, get high fives, hugs and photos, and experience an unforgettable afternoon. Last year, Fessie (FES), Trevor (Lions), the Eintracht Eagle and many more were there. Let yourself be surprised to see who will be there for cuddles this time.
