Franconian Kirchweih Tradition in Geslau
The Kirchweih Geslau is one of the traditional Franconian Kerwa festivals in the Romantic Franconia region. Geslau is located in the district of Ansbach in the state of Bavaria, in the heart of West Middle Franconia. The festival is supported by the Geslau Kerwa Buam and Madli, who, together with the local clubs and the Roth showman family, prepare a varied program for young and old.
Kerwa Parade and Customs
The highlight of the Kirchweih is the traditional Kerwa parade by the Kerwa Buam and Kerwa Madli in the afternoon. Dressed in Franconian traditional costume, they march through the town, keeping a centuries-old custom alive. The parade is framed by a festive service in St. Kilian's Church, Kirchweih coffee, and a convivial Frühschoppen.
