Kirmes Montabaur-Eschelbach

Westerwald Village Kirmes

The Kirmes Montabaur-Eschelbach 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 different municipalities of the administrative district, shaping rural festival life.

Four Days of Program

From July 3, 2026, to July 6, 2026, the kirmes offers a classic Westerwald program of festival tent opening with barrel tapping, dance and disco evenings, Frühschoppen on Sunday with participation from local associations, and a family afternoon with coffee, cake, and carousels. Food stalls, sweet shops, and drink stands complement the festival tent events.

Association and Village Life

The local associations and the municipal council are the organizers of the kirmes, pooling their strengths for the joint summer festival. The fire department, sports clubs, music associations, carnival groups, 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.
