Nuremberg was one of the first Bavarian cities to use the new state act for 2026. The city’s ordinance on Sunday and night opening, adopted in October 2025, releases two Sundays, both in the old town inside the old-town ring: 22 March for the Easter market and 27 September for the old-town festival with its autumn market, each from 1 pm to 6 pm. On top come two late shopping nights, possible under the Bavarian act since August 2025: 24 October and 27 November 2026 until 10 pm across the whole city. These nights fall on weekdays and so are not in the Sunday calendar. Bavaria allows four Sundays and holidays per municipality, so Nuremberg uses only part of that. No ordinance for 2027 has been published yet. The 2026 ordinance appeared in October of the preceding year, and a similar timetable is likely for 2027.
Sundays and nights in one ordinance
Nuremberg regulates both together: Sundays under Article 6 and nights under Article 7 of the Bavarian Shop Closing Act. It shows how retail in Bavaria is shifting since the new act. Rather than opening more Sundays, towns are adding long weekday evenings, which face fewer legal hurdles.
Both Sundays hang on long-established old-town markets that draw visitors. The release applies only inside the old-town ring; shops in the Südstadt or in shopping centres on the edge of town stay closed. Other Bavarian cities: Munich and Landshut.
