Overview
In 2025, the Kamenzer Forstfest also took place traditionally during Bartholomäuswoche in August. The centuries-old festival sequence — from the opening with brass band on Friday to the parades on Sunday and Thursday, and the fireworks on Wednesday — was attended by thousands of visitors from Upper Lusatia, Berlin, and Dresden. The Schützengesellschaft Kamenz e. V. organized the festival week as it has for generations.

The opening concert on Friday evening, the beer tapping ceremony on Saturday, the parades, shooting competitions, and the grand fireworks on Wednesday formed the cornerstones.
