Summer festival food on grill at the Dippemess in Frankfurt (Svetlana_Isochenko)
Autumn Dippemess, Frankfurt | Sept. 12-28, 2025
Send-off festival season at this grand finale of a folk festival which dates all the way back to the Middle Ages. Rooted in the same history as Frankfurt’s Spring Dippemess, the fair began as a market for household goods or Maamess with the focus being earthenware pots or, Dippe in Hessian. It eventually inspired the name, Dippemess. It was once a traveling market until finding its home in Frankfurt in 1968.
Try some regional apple wine for liquid courage before hopping on one of many rides like the rollercoasters. If the rides aren’t your speed, enjoy some traditional snacks, while staying firmly on the ground, like warm roasted almonds and candy floss. You can join the crowd gathered around the center festival pavilion and soak in the live music and cozy vibes of the approaching fall.
