Jubiläumskirmes Wallmerod 750 Years
Four days of Kirmes in the anniversary year for the 750th celebration of the Westerwald market town
About Jubiläumskirmes Wallmerod
750 Years of Wallmerod – An Anniversary Year
In 2026, the municipality of Wallmerod celebrates the 750th anniversary of its market town. The first documented mention of Wallmerod dates back to February 4, 1276, making the town one of the historically well-documented settlements in the Westerwald district. For this occasion, the municipality, clubs, and the business association have put together a comprehensive anniversary calendar that accompanies the entire year 2026 with numerous events – from the Spring Festival, the Open Air, and the Molsberger Market to the Westerwald Oktoberfest and the Christmas Market. The anniversary Kirmes at the end of May marks the traditional summer highlight of this festival calendar.
Four Days of Volksfest in Anniversary Mode
From Friday to Monday, the town center becomes the stage for a classic Westerwald Volksfest. Rides and carousels, food stalls and sweet shops, a large festival tent with live music and disco nights, plus club stands, cake buffets, and the typical Kirmes hustle and bustle characterize the weekend. The anniversary edition adds special touches with unique program points that reflect the festival year.
Club Life and Traditions
Wallmerod clubs – from the fire department and marksmen to music clubs and carnival associations – participate with their own contributions to the program. This makes the Kirmes more than just an amusement park: it is an expression of the village community and traditions passed down through generations. In the anniversary year, this community engagement receives special visibility.
