Kirchweih in the Oberpfalz
The Flossenbürger Kirwa is the traditional Kirchweih (Kirwa) of the municipality of Flossenbürg in the Neustadt an der Waldnaab district in the northern Oberpfalz, state of Bavaria. In this region, the Kirwa is a central traditional festival and is celebrated with great dedication over several days. It is organized by Murphy's Kirwa Stammtisch, the Burschenverein, and other local associations.
What is a Kirwa?
The Kirwa (Kirchweih) originally commemorates the consecration of the local church and is one of the most important village festivals in the Oberpfalz. Central elements include the raising of the Kirwa tree, the dancing around the tree by the Kirwa couples, and the communal celebration by young men and women – a living piece of Oberpfalz identity.

The Flossenbürger Kirwa spans several days with a packed program:
- Kirwa Friday with festival opening and live band
- Saturday evening with live music
