Hochheim Village Festival

Worms-Hochheim — Independent District on the Rhine

Worms-Hochheim is located on the right bank of the Rhine and historically grew independently before becoming a district of Worms. To this day, the place maintains its own identity — visible in its own festivals, its own mountain church, an active local administration, and a distinct club structure. The village festival is the highlight of the annual calendar and brings the entire district family together.

Saturday — Village Flea Market and Opening

The festival day begins with the village flea market starting at 10 am. Hochheim families and clubs will offer bric-a-brac, books, clothing, and household items throughout the village. From 3 pm, the popular rickshaw rides will start, transporting older residents and guests through the village center. At 7 pm, the district mayor, together with the Lord Mayor of Worms, will officially open the festival — followed by a welcome concert.

Sunday — Festive Service and Brunch

Sunday is dedicated to the spiritual and culinary aspects. At 10:15 am, a festive service will take place in front of the Old School or in the Mountain Church — a proven tradition of Hochheim's festival culture. From 11:30 am, the Rhenish-Hessian brunch invites for a convivial get-together, accompanied by brass music. The rickshaws will also be available on Sunday from 12 pm.

Community Gathering and Identity

The Hochheim Village Festival is more than a tourist attraction — it is lived district identity. Clubs, the parish, schools, and committed citizens pull together; families from Hochheim and neighboring towns come together, and new residents are integrated into the community. An ideal example of the vibrancy of Worms' district culture.
