Traditional Kirmes in Ruppach-Goldhausen in the Montabaur administrative district
The Kirmes Ruppach-Goldhausen 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 events that take place every weekend during the summer in different municipalities of the district, shaping the rural festival life.
From June 26, 2026, to June 29, 2026, the kirmes offers a classic Westerwald program of festival tent opening with keg tapping, 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.
The local clubs and the municipal administration are the organizers of the kirmes, pooling their strengths for the joint summer festival. The fire brigade, 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.
Ruppach-Goldhausen is part of the Montabaur administrative district in the Westerwaldkreis, one of the most populous and densely populated administrative districts in the Westerwald.
The municipality is located about 6 km northeast of Montabaur.
