About Kirmes Kadenbach

The Kirmes Kadenbach is the traditional summer kirmes of the Westerwald municipality of Kadenbach. For four days, the village center around the festival grounds and community hall transforms into a lively Volksfest (public festival) area with a festival tent, live music, Frühschoppen (morning pint), family afternoon, carousels, and a food mile. Clubs and volunteers provide catering and jointly organize the program. The date is part of the official Kirmes calendar 2026 for the Montabaur administrative district and fits into the dense network of Westerwald kirmes dates that bring the region's villages together throughout the summer.

Westerwald Village Kirmes

The Kirmes Kadenbach is one of the traditional summer kirmes of the Montabaur administrative district and is anchored in the official Kirmes calendar 2026 of the VG Montabaur (as of October 2025). It follows a long line of Westerwald kirmes dates that take place every weekend of the summer in a different municipality of the administrative district, shaping rural festival life.

Four Days of Program

From May 8, 2026, to May 11, 2026, the kirmes offers a classic Westerwald program of festival tent opening with a keg tapping ceremony, dance and disco evenings, Frühschoppen on Sunday with club participation, and a family afternoon with coffee, cake, and carousels. Food stalls, sweet shops, and drink stands complement the festival tent events.

Club and Village Life

The local clubs and the municipal council are the organizers of the kirmes, pooling their strengths for the joint summer festival. The fire department, sports clubs, music clubs, carnival associations, and youth groups participate in the program and catering. This makes the kirmes more than just an amusement park: it is an expression of a vibrant village community and lived tradition in the Westerwald.
