Himmelfahrt-Fest Neustadt am Main am Bezelberg

Ascension Day in the Spessart

The Himmelfahrt-Fest am Bezelberg is a fixed traditional date in Neustadt am Main, a district in the Main-Spessart region, Bavaria. The festival is organized by the Dorfgemeinschaft Neustadt e.V. (Neustadt Village Community), which makes Ascension Day a sociable day for the whole family.

Sociability amidst nature

The Bezelberg above the Maintal valley provides a natural backdrop for the festival. From midday, locals and day-trippers meet for coffee and cake, draft beer and shandy, and grilled food. The village community describes the festival as a "sociable event amidst nature" – ideal for a relaxed family outing.

Woodcarver village Neustadt am Main

Neustadt am Main is known as a woodcarver village and is part of the administrative community of Gemünden am Main. The village on the Main triangle combines Franconian tradition with its idyllic location between the Spessart and the Main river. The Ascension Day Festival is an expression of a vibrant village community that cultivates tradition and sociability.

A day for the whole family

The festival on the Bezelberg is deliberately kept uncomplicated: no big stage, no mass crowds, but rather encounters, good food, and the view of the landscape. This is precisely what makes this Franconian Ascension Day tradition so appealing.

Commitment of the village community

Like the May Festival, the Ascension Day Festival is part of the Neustadt village community's event calendar. The proceeds benefit the community life in the village – voluntary commitment that strengthens cohesion in the Main-Spessart district.
