Village Fair in the Hardegsen District

The Bartshäuser Kirmes is one of the traditional village fair events in the western Göttingen district. It has a long tradition of Lower Saxony village fairs, which originally went back to the church patron saint's festival of the respective village and developed over the centuries into folk festivals with festival tents, carousels, and dance evenings.

Festival Tent and Dance Evenings

The centerpiece of the Kirmes is the festival tent with its evening dance events. A live band or dance orchestra provides the musical accompaniment; the festival tent is a meeting point for the village population and their guests from surrounding villages. Classic styles range from folk music and Schlager to cover classics and party hits.

Carousel and Shooting Gallery

A small folk festival area with a carousel, shooting gallery, candy stands, and snacks complements the festival tent program. This gives the Kirmes its classic folk festival character, which is particularly attractive to children and families.

Village Community as Organizer

Organization and management are in the hands of the Bartshausen village community and local clubs (fire department, sports club, heritage society). The participation of the clubs ensures a broad volunteer base and makes the Kirmes a community-building village festival at the same time.
