Scheinfeld is a small town on the edge of the Steigerwald, known among other things for the nearby Schwarzenberg Castle. Its Kirchweih – affectionately called "Kerwa" in Franconia – is much more than a folk festival: it brings together clubs and citizens for several days.

The traditional "Kerwa" includes the raising of the Kirchweih tree and the cherished customs of the Kärwaburschen and -madli (Kirchweih boys and girls). A market and a funfair with rides complete the offerings.

Sports Program and Fireworks

Beyond the classic marquee, the Scheinfeld Kirchweih offers a varied program with music, sports, and market. The highlight and atmospheric conclusion is traditionally a fireworks display that concludes the Kirchweih days.
