Blumengartenfest

About Blumengartenfest

When the Saarland Flower Garden in Bexbach is in full bloom in June, the town of Bexbach in the Saarpfalz district invites you to the annual Blumengartenfest. For two days, the park around the youth traffic school transforms into a family Volksfest (popular festival) with a moonlight market, club days, live music, dance performances, and mining history – as a Saarland summer highlight in the shadow of the Hindenburg Tower.

A Park as a Festival Backdrop

The Bexbach Flower Garden, at 25 hectares, is one of the largest and oldest city gardens in the Saarland. It is located between the Hindenburg Tower – the town's landmark – and the Saarland Mining Museum, the only museum of its kind in the Saarland. With its flowerbeds, a tropical house, the penguin and monkey house, and the fairy tale forest, the garden is a popular excursion destination. Once a year, it transforms into a festival ground.

Moonlight Market to Open the Festival

The Blumengartenfest traditionally starts on Friday evening with the Moonlight Market: arts and crafts, street food, and live music under the evening lights make the opening an unforgettable experience. Mayor Christian Prech opens the festival with the traditional tapping of the keg, accompanied by performances from regional bands.

Club Day on Saturday

Saturday is dedicated to Saarland club life: fire brigade demonstrations, performances by dance groups, presentations by local clubs, children's activities, and workshops form a packed program. The "Flotte Lotte", a historic miniature train, runs through the park on Saturday, transporting guests between attractions.

Live Music and Laser Show

The musical program ranges from Saarland dialect bands (in previous years, including "Die Konsorten", "Hacke Limbach") and dance performances (ZUMBA crews) to a DJ set with a laser show late on Saturday evening (in previous years with DJ MarBlo). Bex4Kids e. V. organizes bouncy castles, face painting, and craft stalls – the festival is decidedly family-friendly.

Bexbach in the Saarpfalz District

Bexbach belongs to the Saarpfalz district and is located in the east of the Saarland, directly on the border with the Palatinate. The former mining town combines its industrial history (via the Saarland Mining Museum) with green recreation (in the Flower Garden) – the Blumengartenfest brings both identities together.
