Dippemess Jahrmarkt Frankfurt

Dippemess is an amusement fair in Frankfurt covering a large area where rides including roller coasters and water slides take up most of the space. Beyond the attractions, the fairgrounds also feature food vendors and market stalls selling various goods.

The fair began in the 14th century under the name Mainmess as a trading market for cooking equipment. This merchant gathering gradually transformed into the entertainment event it is today.

The name comes from its past as a pottery and kitchenware market, a heritage still visible in today's vendor stalls. Local foods and traditional crafts remain central to what visitors experience when walking through the grounds.

The fair is open most days from midday until evening with free entry, though individual rides require payment. It helps to arrive earlier in the day when crowds are lighter and it is easier to navigate between the stalls and attractions.

The fair runs twice a year, making it a recurring highlight on Frankfurt's event calendar. These two occasions give visitors a chance to experience the grounds at different times of the year.
