Dippemess Jahrmarkt Frankfurt, Annual fair in Frankfurt, Germany.
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.

Frankfurt places you between centuries of history and one of Europe's tallest skylines. Medieval half-timbered houses at the Römer share the horizon with glass and steel towers that define the financial district. The Main Tower's observation deck shows you this contrast from above, while bridges like the Eiserner Steg let you watch how the skyscrapers reflect on the river's surface. You can photograph Gothic sandstone at the Cathedral in the morning, then walk to the Palmengarten to frame tropical plants inside 19th-century glass houses. The city's photography opportunities follow both banks of the Main River. The Museumsufer brings together classical museum buildings and modern galleries along the water, with steps where people gather when the sun comes out. Inside the Städel, natural light falls on seven centuries of European paintings. Kleinmarkthalle shows everyday life through market stalls and morning crowds, while the Alte Oper offers neo-Renaissance facades against the backdrop of office towers. Goethe's birthplace preserves 18th-century rooms in the middle of a city that keeps building upward, creating subjects that range from quiet interiors to bold geometric patterns on skyscraper walls.
