125 Years FFW Mosbach-Tribur & FFW Kühnhardt-Seiderzell

Two brigades celebrate together

The Volunteer Fire Brigade Mosbach-Tribur and the Volunteer Fire Brigade Kühnhardt-Seiderzell are both turning 125 years old in 2026. Both brigades are located in districts of the town of Spalt in the Roth district (Middle Franconia). Instead of organizing two separate festivals, the brigades are joining forces to host a single large anniversary festival on a shared festival grounds from Friday, July 24th to Sunday, July 26th, 2026.

Festival tent with live program

The festival tent will be open on all three days. Live music will be featured every evening: on Friday, Blasmusik Illenschwang will play; on Saturday, the Bayern 3 Band with DJ Tonic will provide a party atmosphere; on Sunday, the Gräni Gang will play as the festival winds down. Food will be served with Franconian specialties (Schäuferla, Bratwurst, Schweinshaxn) and regional beer.

Parade on Sunday

The highlight of the weekend is the parade on Sunday featuring participating fire brigades from the entire Roth district and friendly brigades from surrounding districts. The assembly will take place in the morning, followed by the parade through the festival area – a classic element of Bavarian fire brigade anniversaries and the largest public manifestation of the event.
