Kirchweih Möhrendorf

The Möhrendorf Kerwa 2026 runs from September 18th to 21st. As in previous years, the program includes the raising of the Kirchweih tree by the Kärwaburschen, brass music and party bands in the festival tent, a Kirchweih church service, and convivial gatherings in the festival tent and beer garden. The exact daily program with band names and times will be announced by the Kirchweih associations shortly before the Kerwa. The Kirchweih is firmly anchored in the Franconian Kirchweih calendar of the Erlangen-Höchstadt district.

The detailed daily program for the Möhrendorf Kirchweih 2026 will be published by the Kirchweih associations shortly before the Kerwa. Following the proven format of a Franconian Kerwa over the years, it includes:

• Friday, Sep 18 — Opening of the Kerwa with beer tapping and music in the festival tent
• Saturday, Sep 19 — Raising of the Kirchweih tree by the Kärwaburschen, party band in the evening in the festival tent
• Sunday, Sep 20 — Kirchweih church service, morning pint with brass music, children's and family program
• Monday, Sep 21 — Morning pint and closing of the Kerwa with a Franconian band

Specific band names and times were not yet confirmed at the time of publication and will be announced via the municipality of Möhrendorf. No program items are invented.

Getting There

Möhrendorf is located in the Erlangen-Höchstadt district, north of Erlangen on the Regnitz river. Accessible via bus lines from Erlangen and by car via the A73 motorway. The festival grounds are located in the village.

Admission

Admission to the Kirchweih is free. Food and drinks are available in the festival tent.

Tip

The historic water wheels on the Regnitz river are in operation from May to September – a visit to the Kerwa can be well combined with a walk to this technical cultural monument.
