Festival of Associations in Ellingen's Baroque Old Town
The Ellinger Altstadtfest is also the festival of the Ellingen associations in the baroque town of Ellingen in the Franconian Lake District (Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district). It takes place every two years in even-numbered years on the fourth weekend of July.
Festival Mile from Pleinfelder Straße to Pleinfelder Tor
The venue is Pleinfelder Straße, which becomes a festival mile leading to the historic Pleinfelder Tor. Each Ellingen association presents its own culinary specialty or a demonstration program — from dance and music to sporting performances.
Hands-on Crafts
A special feature is the traditional crafts that can be admired in action at the Altstadtfest. The festival thus combines conviviality, culinary delights, and living traditions against a baroque backdrop.
Ellingen — Baroque Town in Middle Franconia
Ellingen, known for its Teutonic Order Residence and baroque palace, is located in the Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district, Bavaria. The Altstadtfest is one of the town's defining events and strengthens the cooperation of its associations.
