77th Bühler Zwetschgenfest

The Bühler Zwetschgenfest 2025 took place in warm late summer weather. It opened on Thursday afternoon with the traditional keg tapping ceremony by the mayor, after which the crowd flocked to the festival mile. The largest amusement park on the Upper Rhine between Basel and Karlsruhe was in full operation on all five days, and the festival tent with live bands and cover acts was full until midnight.

The highlight on Sunday, September 14, 2025, was the grand parade with the reigning Plum Queen and over 50 floats, traditional costume groups, and music clubs. Thousands lined the route along Bahnhofstraße. The wine village in the Stadtgarten — hosted by around 20 vintners from Markgräflerland and Ortenau — was, as always, one of the most popular meeting points of the festival.
