FFW Julikirmes Bullay
Summer Fair of the Volunteer Fire Brigade
About Julikirmes FFW Bullay
Fire brigade festivals have a long and cherished tradition in Rhineland-Palatinate. In almost every Mosel village, the local brigades organize an annual summer festival, the proceeds of which flow into the maintenance of equipment, youth work, and the club life of the fire brigade. The Julikirmes of the FFW Bullay follows this tradition and has established itself over the years as a convivial meeting place for locals, weekend guests, and Mosel tourists.
The festival grounds in Bullay are centrally located and easily accessible by car as well as by train (Umweltbahnhof Bullay). The erected festival tent offers ample space for several hundred guests in any weather. For three days, changing bands from the region play – from cover bands and dance orchestras to early morning 'Frühschoppen' music groups.
Culinary, the Julikirmes relies on proven classics: 'Schwenkbraten' (marinated pork neck) from the open grill, bratwurst, fries, and hearty dishes from regional cuisine. For wine, the Bullay Riesling from the 'Brautrock' vineyard is a staple, along with Pilsner on tap and summer wine spritzers ('Sommerschorlen').
The firefighters themselves are the heart of the festival. They perform all tasks voluntarily – from setup and dismantling to catering and stage technology. Those who visit the Julikirmes support the preservation of an institution essential for rural safety with every beer and every 'Schwenkbraten'.
