Sunday starts with a festive church service, musically accompanied by the town band. This is followed by a morning pint concert and a traditional lunch with hearty specialties. In the afternoon, youth orchestras and the music school perform, and there is a puppet show for children. The event concludes with a band performance in the early evening.
Around the market square, there are game stalls, a book flea market, a bric-a-brac market, presentations by the Bundeswehr with fitness challenges, laser shooting, and wagon rides – entertainment for young and old.
