Spring Dippemess

The Spring Dippemess 2027 will take place from 19th March to 11th April 2027.

We have a fantastic programme for children up to the age of 12: the Little Ones’ Funfair (Knirpse-Kirmes). Every Tuesday between 3 pm and 8 pm, there are great deals on all the rides and stalls.

With the Kinder-Finder (Child Finder), you can relax and enjoy your visit to Frankfurt's folk festivals. This free service from the Frankfurt Showmen's Association is aimed particularly at families with small children and provides added security at the festival grounds.

The Kinder-Finder is a wristband on which you enter your mobile phone number. If you lose sight of your child in the hustle and bustle, other visitors or the police can quickly reach you by phone. This makes it easy for you to find each other again.

The wristband is available free of charge at all children's rides. Simply pick one up, write down your number and enjoy the hustle and bustle with peace of mind.

No. Due to the newly built swimming pool at the fairground on Ratsweg, fireworks can no longer take place.

Yes, at the Dippemess, you can pay by card at more than half of the stalls. Please note that the option to pay by card depends on the individual stallholder. Some rides also have ticket machines where card payments are accepted. For those who prefer to pay in cash, there are cash machines available on the fairground.

Because sustainability is important to us! 

At the Dippemess, the motto is: 
Reusable makes all the difference.

That’s why food and drinks are automatically served 
in eco-friendly reusable containers. 
A deposit of at least 2 euros is charged for the reusable packaging.

Disposable packaging may only be used if you expressly wish
to consume your food or drink outside the Dippemess.

We recommend travelling to the fairgrounds via public transport. Please note that there is no car parking available at the fairground. Handicapped parking spaces are located on Ostendstraße in limited numbers.

The following accessible toilet facilities can be found on the Frankfurt Dippemess fairground: centrally located on the fairground opposite the Wellenflieger chain carousel and behind the Ries almond stall, as well as diagonally opposite the Circus-Circus roundabout and opposite the Hau den Lukas game.

There are a limited number of parking spaces for people with disabilities on the corner of Ostparkstraße and Ratsweg.

The "Eissporthalle/Festplatz" stop is right next to the fairground. Underground Line U7, Tram Line 12 and Bus Lines 38 and 103 stop next to the Ferris wheel and rollercoaster. These services run until after midnight and thus also ensure a good journey home. The U7 line also offers more space almost all the time thanks to additional carriages.
