Overview
The Dumbächer Kirwa 2025 was celebrated by the Kirwaverein Kirchenthumbach from August 15th to 17th on the Turnerplatz. The Kirwabaum was traditionally raised on Friday evening with lever poles — a discipline that requires not only strength but also skill.
On Saturday, the band Gseea Wepsn heated up the atmosphere in the festival tent. Sunday also offered the tried-and-tested program: festival service, Frühschoppen with the Dumbächer Blaskapelle, in the afternoon the traditional Austanzen of the Kirwa couples with their Kirwagstanzla (humorous mocking verses about local events) and Berg-Kraxler acrobatics on the Kirwabaum.
The proceeds of the festival, as is traditional, went to local social projects in 2025 — the First Responders Kirchenthumbach and flood victims were supported, among others. Several thousand visitors came to the Turnerplatz over the weekend; the festival tent was filled to capacity on all evenings.
