The Diversity Festival of the City of Fürth

Fürth feiert Vielfalt is an extraordinary city festival that brings together events, artists, educational offerings, and social initiatives under one roof every spring in the Middle Franconian city of Fürth (Bavaria) for three weeks. The venues span the entire Fürth city area – from the Kofferfabrik to the Jewish Museum of Franconia, the Haus der Kulturellen Bildung, and numerous small venues.

Around 100 Events and 70+ Organizers

The program comprises almost 100 individual events, managed by more than 70 associations, initiatives, cultural institutions, and educational providers. This makes Fürth feiert Vielfalt one of Bavaria's largest civil society festivals – a collaborative project where the city's education office provides the platform, but the thematic focus is set by the city's community itself.

Program Lines

The program is divided into several lines: Culture & Entertainment with concerts, theater, and exhibitions; Active Participation through workshops and hands-on formats; Dialogue & Community in the form of lectures, readings, and joint celebrations. A recurring highlight is the Kofferdisko, an inclusive dance format at the Kofferfabrik. Further focal points include religious diversity, Jewish life in Fürth, migration, inclusion, and anti-racism.

Accessibility and Languages

Inclusion is not an add-on but a fundamental principle of the festival. Program information is available in Easy Language, many events are translated into sign language, and accompanying services for blind visitors are offered. The program is accessible in 11 languages via the Integreat app, specifically engaging Fürth's highly diverse population.

Organizers and Patronage

The festival is organized by the Working Group for Inclusion Fürth, the Office for Migration and Diversity, and the Education Office of the City of Fürth. The patronage is held by Lord Mayor Thomas Jung. Fürth feiert Vielfalt is supported by numerous city advisory boards (Education, Integration, Culture, Youth, Seniors). Fürth, as an independent city, is part of the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region in Middle Franconia (Bavaria) – one of Bavaria's most diverse cities with a migrant population exceeding 50 percent in some districts.
