City Summer Fun Braunschweig: City Flair, Riding Pleasure and Summer Mood
The City Summer Fun brings Braunschweig into motion from August 28 to September 6, 2026. The outdoor event transforms the city center into a vibrant mix of ferris wheel, family attractions, game stalls and snack aromas. The entire event is organized by the Showman Association Region Harz and Heide e.V. with support from Braunschweig Stadtmarketing GmbH. Admission is free.

A City Stroll with a Fair Feel
Strolling through the Braunschweig city center, visitors do not experience a classic festival area but rather a pleasantly distributed outdoor fair with short distances and many small highlights. Different experience islands are created in six squares and street segments, making the event experience particularly varied. A total of 23 attractions await large and small visitors.

Rides That Make Summer Tangible
The approximately 33-meter-high ferris wheel shapes the view over the city, while roller coasters, Twisters, and bungee trampolines provide speed and thrills. For families, there are children's carousels, duck fishing, and other game stalls. In addition, sweet and savory classics like crêpes, churros, langos, tacos, bratwurst, ice cream, and cool drinks are available. The result is an atmosphere between relaxed strolling and a true fair feeling.

The City Center as a Stage
Particularly appealing is the distribution over several city center locations: Schlossplatz, Platz am Ritterbrunnen, Langer Hof, Platz der Deutschen Einheit, Domplatz and Kohlmarkt together form an open route through Braunschweig. This gives the City Summer Fun an urban character that clearly distinguishes it from a compact fair. The organization focuses on a mix, movement, and an audience address that equally attracts families, friends, and spontaneous city visitors.
