Early Summer Kirchweih in the Obermaintal

The Kirchweih in Obersdorf is the traditional Kirchweih of the small Hochstadt district of Obersdorf in the Lichtenfels district (Upper Franconia). Unlike the classic autumn Kirchweihen of the region, it takes place in early summer and combines Kirchweih customs with the Upper Franconian "summer Pentecost rhythm".

Festival Service and Three Festival Days

The festival begins with the Kirchweih service on the first day. This is followed by three days of festival activities in the participating inns and in the village center. Clubs, the parish, and innkeepers serve Upper Franconian delicacies – Bratwurst, Schäuferla, Krapfen – and regional beers. A brass band or regional bands provide the entertainment throughout the weekend.
