Once the biggest funfair on the Rhine has been erected on the Rheinwiesen meadows, summer will truly be here. This year too, the hottest season promises an exciting mix of sport, culture, music and dance. The climax will be our celebrations marking 70 years of North Rhine-Westphalia and 70 years of the state capital Düsseldorf. This summer our city will once again be pulling out all the entertainment stops – with something for all ages.

Biggest funfair on the Rhine
From 15 to 24 July, the marksmen’s club, St. Sebastianus Schützenverein Düsseldorf 1316 e.V., will be celebrating its patron saint, St. Apollinaris. This will already be the 115th time that the funfair city has been built up on the Rheinwiesen in Oberkassel. Funfair operators from both Germany and abroad will be presenting a huge variety of rides on an area of 165,000 sq m, guaranteeing fun for all the family. Another tradition that’s worth seeing is the “historical parade” with uniformed marksmen, brass bands, teams of horses and horse-drawn carriages. And this year, there will even be not just one but two fantastic firework displays – on the first and the last Friday of the funfair:
