Moers' 2025 Karmes: 5-Day Festival Filled with Entertainment, Amusement, and Family Time in the City Core
Get ready for a week of excitement as the Moers Kirmes returns to Moers, Germany from August 31st to September 9th. This annual folk festival, a staple in the city's summer calendar, promises a vibrant mix of food, rides, games, and entertainment that reflects the typical German festival atmosphere.
The festivities kick off at 4 PM on August 31st with a traditional parade from Neumarkt to Friedrich-Ebert-Platz. The Moers Fair will be spread across several streets in the city center, with three main locations to explore.
Food lovers will rejoice at the array of culinary delights on offer. From classic German dishes like bratwurst, backfish, and fries, to vegetarian options and sweet treats such as crêpes, churros, and chocolate fruits, there's something for everyone.
For the thrill-seekers, the Moers Kirmes offers a variety of rides. The "Ghost Rider," a glass maze and ghost labyrinth, promises an adrenaline-pumping experience, accelerating up to 100 km/h while the gondolas swing out to the side. The "Pirate River" log flume takes families on an exciting pirate adventure up to 12 meters high. Making its debut this year is the "Pool Party" ride, offering an unforgettable experience with changing lights, atmospheric fog effects, and unexpected water sprays.
The Ko-Treff, one of the main attractions, offers exclusive live events, a varied food area, and a cocktail and heartl'bar.
For the safety of the event areas, police and security personnel will be present, and the city center will be secured with fixed and mobile terror barriers. Enhanced security measures are in place to ensure a peaceful and joyful fair with a lively atmosphere. The "Luisa is here!" support campaign for women is part of the security concept at the Moers Fair.
The official opening of the Moers Fair takes place at the Ferris wheel at 5 PM, with the mayor, a barrel tapping, confetti rain, three salute shots, and a heartl'-throw for a chance to win ride chips.
The Moers Fair concludes with a spectacular fireworks display at 9:30 PM on September 9th, with the best view from Friedrich-Ebert-Platz.
The success of the Moers Kirmes is greatly attributed to the excellent cooperation between Moers Marketing and its partners – Niederrhein Sparkasse, ENNI Energie & Umwelt Niederrhein GmbH, and Autohaus Minrath.
