The weekends were particularly popular with the public, it added. The 33 new rides and stands were well received. The organizers are also considering repeating the first-ever "Golden Ticket" raffle. This allowed free rides on all rides on the first weekend.
A deposit system for pet bottles was new this year. It remains to be seen whether this will be retained. The figures are currently being evaluated and only then will the organizers decide.
The trade fair lasted two weeks. The locations Messeplatz, Münsterplatz and Barfüsserplatz as well as the Rosentalanlage and Kasernenareal will be busy until Sunday. In keeping with tradition, the autumn fair on Petersplatz with the "Hääfelimäärt" lasts two days longer.
