From April 11 to May 4, 2025, the Frankfurt Dippemess returns for three weeks of fun, thrills, and tradition. Once again, visitors can look forward to a wide variety of rides, games, and culinary delights. We’ve put together the most important info and highlights for you below.

The Dippemess kicks off on April 11 and marks the start of the fair season in Hesse. Visitors of all ages can look forward to a wide range of attractions – from heart-racing rides to family-friendly fun, there’s something for everyone.
Thrill-seekers can get their adrenaline fix with the “Gladiator” propeller ride, the giant swing “Hip-Hop Fly,” or the rollercoaster “Time Machine.” Popular classics like the “Break Dancer,” “Disco Express,” and “Circus-Circus” also promise pure ride enjoyment.
