Oktoberkerwe in Kaiserslautern is a fun even full of rides, food and festivities (Klaus - Adobe Stock)
Oktoberkerwe | Oct. 17‑27, 2025
Celebrate all the good things that have happened throughout the current year at a traditional Kerwe festival. Like its May counterpart, the Lauterer Kerwe, Oktoberkerwe is one of Kaiserslautern’s premier annual events.
The festival opens with an evening parade, ceremonial keg-tapping and vibrant fireworks. Enjoy festival rides ranging from the “White Wheel” Ferris wheel to more adrenaline-inducing ones like the “Avenger Royal,” which spins and swings riders around (in my opinion, ferociously). Feast on staples like pommes, bratwursts and crepes while shopping at handicraft stands and listening to live music. On Family Wednesday, rides and admission prices are half price and face painting is offered to children for free.
