Dorffest Großrückerswalde – Freies Fest

A Village Festival That Invites

The Dorffest Großrückerswalde is one of the many Ore Mountain village festivals that liven up the rural area throughout the summer. Großrückerswalde is located in the Erzgebirgskreis district, south of Marienberg, in the upper Ore Mountains. The municipality explicitly advertises that the festival is a "Freies Fest" – meaning free of charge – and open to everyone. A message that rural Saxony particularly cherishes: no entry barriers, no VIP zones, a flat festival culture that invites everyone.

Live Music with «Zehn nach Halb»

The musical highlight on Saturday evening is the Ore Mountain band «Zehn nach Halb», which has been playing at village and club festivals in the region for years. Their repertoire ranges from cover versions of current pop and rock songs to German-language Schlager and party music. Starts at 8:30 PM after a relaxed festival opening at 5:00 PM.

Atmosphere, Music, and Good Cheer

The festival website simply states: "Atmosphere, music, and good cheer". The program includes:

• Live music with «Zehn nach Halb»
• Regional bands and DJ sets
• Gastronomy with Ore Mountain specialties (Bratwurst, beer, crêpes)
• Family activities, game stalls

Großrückerswalde in the Erzgebirgskreis

Großrückerswalde is located between Marienberg and Annaberg-Buchholz, at an altitude of around 700 m – right in the middle of the Ore Mountains. Visitors to the village festival can combine their stay with hikes, a tour to the Pöhlberg, or a trip to the Czech border. In the state of Saxony, the festival represents the strong tradition of smaller village festivals, without which rural Saxony would be unthinkable.
