In contrast to most annual fairs, the Memmingen annual fair does not take place on a fairground, but on public roads that are specially closed for the annual event. This sometimes leads to congestion on the other roads and to a range of rather small to medium-sized rides. However, the hustle and bustle in the city center creates a special flair. The fair closes at 10 o'clock in the evening. Since there are basically no beer tents available, a subsequent pub crawl through the nearby restaurants is recommended.

The night parade takes place every two years in January - a traditional carnival parade when it gets dark. There are no big and noisy moving trucks to be seen, but numerous creepy figures from the fool's guilds from the area determine the goings-on. For several years now, Memmingen has been the second Bavarian carnival stronghold next to the Franconian one Veitshochheim designated. The reason for this is the Bavarian-Swabian ceremonial meeting "Swabian Weissblau - Hurra und Helau", which is organized and recorded every year by the Bavarian television in the town hall of Memmingen. The end of the carnival season is the foolish Kehrhaus on Mardi Gras. The traditional professional event with dance performances ends punctually for curfew at midnight, when the carnival is symbolically buried.
