Soest is preparing: All Saints' Day fair attracts thousands!

On November 3, 2025, the construction Sunday of the All Saints' Fair took place in the picturesque old town of Soest, and the atmosphere couldn't be better. The numerous visitors streamed into the streets to admire the first attractions of the fair and to enjoy the festive atmosphere. As the Soester Anzeiger reports, the carousels and souvenir stands in particular were popular places to go for young and old.

With a fairground map in hand, a father and his son had an animated discussion about the various attractions. They were particularly impressed by the children's carousel “Timmy's Time Travel” and the exciting “Big Monster”. Fair posters hung all over the city, informing visitors about the many offerings.

A culinary tour of discovery

The fair has a lot to offer for those who want to get their money's worth with culinary delights. The long-established residents of Soest were already enjoying the first “Bullenauge” and a cold fair beer while preparations for the grand opening on Thursday were in full swing. This year, over 300 showmen will captivate visitors. At the climax, during the horse market, even 350 showmen shine with their stands.

The combination of rides, exhibitions and culinary specialties transforms the historic old town into a colorful fair for five days. The length of the front of the rides and stalls also extends over an impressive three kilometers, and the population of Soest swells from 50,000 to around one million visitors during the fair. The All Saints' Fair has now achieved cult status and even attracts visitors from far away, as can be read on So ist Soest.

Safety comes first

Of course, those responsible for the city care about the safety of visitors: 100 octablocks have already been set up to block access roads and allow the fair to take place undisturbed. Jeremy, a dedicated recommender, was busy setting up the “Voodoo Jumper” to get the attraction ready in time for the start of the fair. The final touches were completed on the children's carousel at Petrikirchhof on Sunday to ensure that the little passengers had a safe and enjoyable experience.

There was also particular enthusiasm at the souvenir information stand in front of the town hall. The demand for fair pins and other souvenirs was great here and the offer was enthusiastically accepted. The All Saints' Fair not only captivates its visitors with its rides, but also with its colorful range of souvenirs.

The anticipation for the coming festive season is growing by the hour, and everyone in Soester and visitors from the surrounding area are ready to enjoy the 50,000 square meter festival meadow in the old town to the fullest. The fair is starting soon, and you can already say that the All Saints Fair is an important part of Soest culture that brings people together and creates unforgettable memories.
