Spring kickoff with ride fun, family moments, and true festival atmosphere
When the Heilbronn Maifest conquers the Theresienwiese, the festive season traditionally begins in the city. From April 29 to May 3, 2027, the area transforms into a lively folk festival with 46 showman and vendor families, a strong regional aspect, and exactly the mix of thrills, enjoyment, and community that makes for a true multi-day experience.

The character of the Maifest: small, approachable, full of energy
The Heilbronn Maifest does not stand for large tent settings, but for immediate festival atmosphere on the event grounds. Since the late 1990s, the event has established itself as a spring kickoff and looks back on more than 25 years of tradition. After the abolition of the festival tent in 2018, the concept focuses on beer gardens, stalls, and an open, family-friendly folk festival feel.

Rides, enjoyment, and family program
On the Theresienwiese, the full spectrum of folk festival awaits: Ferris wheel, Break Dance, and family carousel provide movement and goosebumps, along with culinary specialties and numerous stalls. Particularly popular is Family Day on Monday with reduced ride prices and offers from 2 PM to 6 PM. Additionally, the kick-off on Thursday features the action prices like 20 years ago from 4 PM to 6 PM.

Arrival, location, and practical orientation
The event location is the Theresienwiese Heilbronn at Theresienstraße 44, 74072 Heilbronn. The city describes the connection by train, light rail, bus, car, and long-distance bus as very good; at the same time, bus parking lots are designated at the Theresienwiese, which, however, are not available during events.
