Ammerndorfer Kirchweih
2025
Edition 2025 — Finished
Edition 2025 — Ammerndorfer Kärwa
The 2025 edition seamlessly continued the long-standing tradition of the Ammerndorfer Kirchweih. The mayor and the Kärwaburschen kicked off on Friday with the first beer tapping, and the weekend was marked by a parade, morning pint, and beer tent atmosphere. As always, Ammerndorfer beer was the centerpiece of the beverage menu – the private brewery is one of the oldest in the region and a firm pillar of the town's identity.
Programmatically, the 2025 Kärwa remained true to its proven format: a beer tent with an orchestra, carousels, and shooting galleries at Dullikener Platz, Franconian bratwurst, Schäuferla (pork shoulder), and Kärwakrapfen (doughnuts) from the stalls. Families from Cadolzburg, Roßtal, and Großhabersdorf made day trips to Ammerndorf, while young visitors from the greater Fürth and Nuremberg area frequented the beer tent in the evenings.
