A Franconian Kirchweih in the Middle of Summer
The Kirchweih Wettringen is the annual summer Kirchweih of the municipality of Wettringen in the Ansbach district. It is celebrated every year in July on Wettringen Market Square and is one of the oldest Franconian Kerwa traditions in western Middle Franconia. Wikipedia explicitly lists the "Kirchweih im Juli" as a recurring event of the municipality.
Market Square, Kerwabaum, and Catering
The focus is on the market square with catering provided by local clubs. Typical elements of a Franconian Kirchweih such as beer tapping, festive evening program, Frühschoppen (morning pint), and a celebratory church service shape the weekend. Those traveling to the Hohenlohe region and western Middle Franconia will find a charmingly manageable village Kerwa here, away from the big Volksfeste (popular festivals).
What Visitors Can Expect
- Festival weekend in July on Wettringen Market Square
- Catering by local clubs
- Franconian specialties and beer
- Celebratory church service and Frühschoppen on Sunday
- Meeting point for the Wettringen village community and guests
