A warm welcome

Welcome to the homepage of the Allerheiligen Kirmes (All Saints' Fair) in Soest. Europe's largest old town fair takes place this year from 4. - 8.11.2009 .

A veritable mega event: More than 400 itinerant booths and rides across 50,000 sq. m. High-tech fairground rides embedded within the historical backdrop of Soest's old town centre.

"The greatest, most wonderful, most novel, most unique old town centre Kirmes in the whole of Europe." - A quote by a Kirmes fan. This really is the largest fair in a historical town centre in Europe. It is at least 668 years old but is, in all probability, much older

The Allerheiligen Kirmes in Soest - this cult event is an absolute must not only for local Kirmes fans. You won't find anything comparable because its particular appeal lies in the contrast between its medieval backdrop, the imposing historical buildings and the high-tech carnival rides. This historical location is an indispensable part of the hustle and bustle which generates the distinctive atmosphere impressing almost 1 mio. visitors each year.

Soest knows how to party! - Guests have always received a particularly warm welcome in this old Hanse town.
