Festival of encounter and tradition in Langenzenn's Old Town
The Altstadtfest Langenzenn is one of the highlights in the event calendar of this Middle Franconian town in the district of Fürth. On the second Saturday in September, Prinzregentenplatz, Martin-Luther-Platz, Rosenstraße, and parts of Friedrich-Ebert- and Hindenburgstraße are transformed into a single promenade.
The festival thrives on volunteer engagement: every year, around 50 clubs participate, predominantly from Langenzenn, who run the stalls and small stands. Food, drinks, and conviviality are the focus – the Altstadtfest rightly deserves its reputation as a "Festival of Encounter and Tradition".
Music is provided on two stages, and street musicians wander through the alleys. The Hans-Sachs-Spieler open their unique historic bakehouse, and "Lama Bräu" brews its own beer in the old dairy. Dancing takes place on the "Alte B 8" in front of the Old Town Hall or in the specially erected beer garden in the car park on Rosenstraße.
Langenzenn is characterized by the former Augustinian Canons' Monastery and its well-preserved old town on the Castle Road. Against this historic backdrop, the Altstadtfest unfolds its special charm – a day when the whole town comes together.
On Saturday, September 12, 2026, around 50 clubs will transform Prinzregentenplatz, Martin-Luther-Platz, Rosenstraße, and parts of Friedrich-Ebert- and Hindenburgstraße into a promenade with stalls and stands. Live music will be played on two stages, and street musicians will wander through the town. The Hans-Sachs-Spieler will open their historic bakehouse, and "Lama Bräu" will brew in the old dairy.
