Kirta Loifling (FF Loifling and Hofmarkschützen)

Kirchweih in the Oberpfälzer Wald

The Kirta Loifling is the village fair of the small district of Loifling, which belongs to the municipality of Traitsching, about seven kilometers south of Cham. As is customary throughout the Oberpfalz, the "Kirta" is much more than a religious festival: it is the social highlight of the village year, bringing the entire community together.

A Festival of Two Clubs

The Kirta is jointly organized by the Loifling Volunteer Fire Department and the Hofmarkschützen Loifling. The close cooperation between the two village clubs shapes the festival and ensures that everyone lends a hand on the June weekend — from running the festivities to catering and the social program.

Bavarian Kirchweih Tradition

In the region, the Kirta traditionally includes brass music, a lively festival with hearty food and beer, and the convivial gathering of young and old. Such village fairs are deeply rooted in the identity of the Oberpfalz and keep the vibrant customs and traditions of rural life alive.

Traitsching in the Cham District

The municipality of Traitsching, with its numerous districts, is located in the Cham district in the administrative region of Oberpfalz, nestled in the rolling hills between the Regental valley and the Oberpfälzer Wald. Festivals like the Kirta Loifling are characteristic of the dense club and festival culture of this region.
