About Gladbacher Kirmes

The Gladbacher Kirmes in the Neuwied district of Gladbach has developed into one of the most visited district fairs since its relaunch in 2017. For four days, the marquee invites visitors with live music, culinary offerings, and a convivial atmosphere for a weekend full of fun. With Neuwied Musik as the gastronomic partner and the commitment of the district associations, the Kirmes shapes the summers in Gladbach and attracts a growing audience from the entire city and region.

A District Festival on the Rise

The Gladbacher Kirmes now looks back on almost a decade with the concept introduced in 2017. With the change in organizational structure and the cooperation with Neuwied Musik as the gastronomic partner, the festival has experienced a noticeable upswing. Visitor numbers have grown continuously since the relaunch, so that the Kirmes is now recognized far beyond the district.

Marquee as the Centerpiece

The marquee with its stage for live music is the centerpiece. Over the four days, bands and DJs perform, ensuring full dance floors with cover classics, party music, and regional acts. The program caters to different tastes – from hearty party music to rock cover sounds.

Culinary Delights

The culinary catering for guests is coordinated by Neuwied Musik. Classic fairground dishes – from bratwurst and schnitzel to potato pancakes and fries – are complemented by draft beer and a diverse range of drinks. The atmosphere in the marquee is typical of the classic Volksfest (folk festival) ambience cultivated in the Rhineland.

A Meeting Point for the Region

Today, the Kirmes is much more than just a local district fair. Guests from other Neuwied districts, from neighboring municipalities, and from the Westerwald travel for the weekends. The growing reach of the festival is also an expression of an active district culture in which associations, restaurateurs, and volunteers come together.

Gladbacher Kirmes — edition 2026

For the 2026 Gladbacher Kirmes, a four-day festival is planned for the summer. With a marquee, live music, and culinary offerings, the event continues the successful concept from 2017 onwards. The city of Neuwied and the organizers will announce the exact date in spring/summer. In the Gladbach district, guests can expect four days of stage program, catering by Neuwied Musik, and the typical atmosphere of a growing Rhenish district festival.

The 2026 edition continues the concept of previous years. Four days of marquee events in the Gladbach district, live music on the main evenings, a Sunday morning pint (Frühschoppen), and a relaxed conclusion on Monday are the typical highlights.

The exact program for 2026 will be published by the organizer in spring/summer. The structure follows the proven highlights of previous years: opening on Friday, musical climax on Saturday, family program on Sunday with Frühschoppen, and a festive closing on Monday.
