About Frankenthal Civic Reception

The Frankenthal Civic Reception is an annual festive event with which the city administration honors the voluntary and civic engagement of its residents. Around a thousand invited guests from clubs, associations, social institutions, and initiatives meet in the Great Hall of the CongressForum for a festive evening with speeches, a moderated stage program, culinary accompaniment, and musical interludes. In 2026, the evening will be held under the motto 'GemeinschaFT (er)leben' (Experiencing Community Together) and will focus on what sustains the city's society.

The Frankenthal Civic Reception has been a firm fixture in the municipal event calendar for decades and is considered a central format for a culture of recognition in the city's society. Invited are club boards, volunteers, representatives of social institutions, school representatives, and city council members.

Format and Schedule

The evening begins with admission from 6:00 PM and an aperitif in the foyer of the CongressForum. At 7:00 PM, the Lord Mayor opens the festive event in the Great Hall with a speech highlighting the most important events of the past year and particularly honoring selected personalities or initiatives. This is followed by short stage contributions, musical interludes, and a moderated show program featuring contributions from Frankenthal's club life.

Motto 2026: GemeinschaFT (er)leben

The motto captures the idea that a city cannot function without the active engagement of its citizens. Contributions are planned from the areas of integration, neighborhood help, voluntary youth work, and cultural associations.

Following the Official Part

After the official part, the social part of the evening takes place in the foyer and the large festival hall with a buffet and drinks. There will be opportunities to network, make new contacts, and talk with representatives of the city administration.
