Altenglan Spring Festival & Motorcycle Fair (ProMoto)

The Altenglan Spring Festival is one of the most important major spring events in the West Palatinate district of Kusel. On one April weekend, the municipality of Altenglan combines a classic town spring festival with the Sunday shopping day and the regionally oriented ProMoto motorcycle fair. This creates an event format that attracts families and residents as well as motorcycle enthusiasts from the West Palatinate and Saarland regions.

Austraße Experience Mile

The venue is the Austraße in Altenglan, which becomes an experience mile for the weekend. Shops open their doors, food and beverage stands are set up, stages and action areas are established. The municipality, the business association, and numerous local clubs work together to organize the festival.

ProMoto Motorcycle Fair

The ProMoto Motorcycle Fair is the regional magnet of the festival. Motorcycle dealers, clothing brands, accessory suppliers, and tour operators present their products in a dedicated area. Test rides, consultations, and insider tips for the upcoming motorcycle season complement the offerings. Those looking to get informed about the season opener or buy a new bike will find a compact selection of brands and models here.

Sunday Shopping Day

The Sunday shopping day on April 12th, 2026 is one of the few shopping dates in the Palatinate retail sector and thus a special opportunity to visit the shops in Altenglan on a Sunday. The official opening of the festival by the municipality takes place on Sunday from 12 p.m.

Live Music with the Schellweiler Music Club

The musical accompaniment is provided by the Musikverein Schellweiler from the neighboring town – a classic Palatinate music club with a focus on brass music. Their performance underscores the festive character of the weekend and creates the right atmosphere at the catering stands.

Free Admission

Like most Palatinate town and spring festivals, the Altenglan Spring Festival is free to enter. You only pay for what you buy or consume on-site. This makes it a festival for families and all generations, open to everyone without barriers.
