About Kerwa Dachsbach

The Kirchweih in Dachsbach is a lively Franconian Kerwa (church consecration festival) in the market town of Dachsbach, Neustadt an der Aisch-Bad Windsheim district. For several days, the local youths (Ortsburschen and Ortsmadle) celebrate old customs together with the entire community: on Kirchweihsamstag (the Saturday of the festival), the decorated Kirchweihfichte (festival fir tree) is erected in front of the 'Zur Goldenen Traube' inn, and on Sunday, the Kerwazug (festival procession) with creatively designed floats parades through the town. Regional specialties, music, and a lived sense of village community characterize the festival, which is supported by voluntary helpers.
