Dusseldorf's Spring Celebrations Transpire Along the Tonhalle River, Highlighted by a Dazzling Fountain Display
Düsseldorf's Spring Fair Shines Bright Along the Rhine
The city of Düsseldorf is gearing up for a vibrant spring event as the Spring Fair (Frühlingsfest) prepares to light up the Rhine banks. Despite the specific dates for the 2025 Spring Fair not being available, the city's annual Rhine Fair (Rheinkirmes) is scheduled for July 11 to July 20, offering a similar celebration.
The Spring Fair, known for its lively atmosphere and array of attractions, traditionally opens with a ceremonial keg tapping of Altbier at 6 pm on the last Wednesday of April. This year, revellers can look forward to enjoying the leisurely ride on the Ferris wheel, taking in views over the Rhine and the city, as well as the thrill of the new rides like the Chain Flyer and the 47-meter-high giant swing, the Excalibur.
Visitors can also expect a variety of rides suitable for children, such as carousels and bumper cars. For those seeking entertainment, the Avengers figures will make an appearance, providing an exciting opportunity for selfies.
The safety of visitors is of utmost importance at the Spring Fair, with security personnel on hand to ensure everyone enjoys the festivities in a secure environment. The fair typically remains open until 10 pm, with possible extensions on weekends.
A highlight of the Spring Fair is the fireworks display, traditionally held on Friday evening. This year, there will be two fireworks shows scheduled—one on May 2nd on the Oberkasseler Rhine meadows and another on May 9th. The Fortuna Fan Truck is also set to visit the fair on May 8th, adding an extra dash of excitement with its arrival in the evening.
The Düsseldorf Showmen's Association is optimistic about the Spring Fair, aiming to build on the success of the Easter Fair, which attracted nearly 30,000 visitors. With 63 showmen setting up their stalls and rides, food enthusiasts can look forward to sampling Füchschen Alt, Schumacher, and Schlüssel Alt, as well as various fair food options.
