Traditional Kirmes in Ettersdorf (district of Montabaur) in the Montabaur municipal association
The Kirmes Montabaur-Ettersdorf is one of the traditional summer Kirmes of the Montabaur municipal association and is anchored in the official Kirmes calendar 2026 of the VG Montabaur (as of October 2025). It is part of a long series of Westerwald Kirmes events that take place every weekend during the summer in different municipalities of the association, shaping rural festival life.
From August 28, 2026, to August 31, 2026, the Kirmes offers a classic Westerwald program including the opening of the festival tent 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 activities.
The local clubs and the municipal council are the organizers of the Kirmes, pooling their efforts 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.
