Bartholomäus-Kirchweih Pottenstein (Pottensteiner Kerwa)

In 2025, the Kerwa again followed the traditional pattern: digging up the Kerwa on Friday, festival dance on Saturday, patronage church service and "Betzn austanzen" on Sunday, and winding down on Monday with the ritual burying for the next year. The Mager brewery, as every year, brewed a special festival beer just for the Kerwa days.

The Pottensteiner Kerwa is considered one of the most traditional Kirchweihen in Franconia and is one of the fixed highlights of the festival calendar in Franconian Switzerland, alongside Gößweinstein and Behringersmühle.
