About Primstal Kirmes

Four days of folk festival with a marquee, live music, carousels, and a morning pint (Frühschoppen) — a small, warm-hearted version of Saarland's club culture in the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park.

Four Days of Festival Grounds

Like most St. Wendel Kirmessen, Primstal's runs for four days: Opening on Wednesday or Friday evening with a beer tapping ceremony, live music in the festival tent on Saturday and Sunday, a morning pint (Frühschoppen) with brass band music and an early mass in the parish church on Sunday, and a family day on Monday.

Primstal in the Hochwald

Primstal, with over 2,000 inhabitants, is the largest district of Nonnweiler and is located in the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park, directly on the edge of the Schwarzwälder Hochwald. For those who want to combine the Kirmes with a hiking weekend: the nearby Bostalsee lake is only fifteen minutes away, and the Hunnenring near Otzenhausen — a Celtic fortification — is right on your doorstep.
