About Kirmes Niederelbert
Westerwald Village Kirmes
The Kirmes Niederelbert is one of the traditional summer kirmes of the Montabaur administrative district and is anchored in the official 2026 Kirmes calendar of the Montabaur VG (as of October 2025). It follows a long line of Westerwald kirmes events that take place every weekend of the summer in different municipalities of the administrative district, shaping rural festival life.
Four Days of Programme
From 11 September 2026 to 14 September 2026, the kirmes offers a classic Westerwald programme 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 a carousel. Food stalls, sweet shops, and drink stands complement the festival tent events.
Club and Village Life
The kirmes is organised by local clubs and the local council, who pool their efforts for the joint summer festival. The fire brigade, sports clubs, music clubs, carnival associations, and youth groups participate in the programme and catering. This makes the kirmes more than just an amusement park: it is an expression of a vibrant village community and living tradition in the Westerwald.
