Ride at Dippemess (Christian Wegerle, )
Frankfurt Dippemess | April 5–11, 2025
Only 40 minutes from Wiesbaden, Dippemess has a history dating back to the 14th century where it was known as the “maamess” (a medieval market for household goods). The focus of these markets became ceramics. The earthenware pots or, Dippe in Hessian, inspired the new name, Dippemess. It was once a traveling market until finding its home in Frankfurt in 1968.
Frankfurt’s oldest folkfest, Dippemess kicks off the festival season with plenty of vendors selling crafts and other goods, thrilling rides, carnival games, live entertainers like jugglers and, of course, yummy festival food. Apple wine is a specialty offered along with traditional fest food like roasted almonds, waffles and schnitzel sandwiches. Every Tuesday is children’s day and ticket prices are reduced.
