Kronau Village Festival International

First Edition 2025 – The Kick-off

The premiere of the Village Festival International was a venture for the municipality of Kronau: a new format without a historical anchor, relying on club diversity and culinary internationality rather than an established tradition. The response was positive: several hundred visitors attended, the club stands were sold out on Saturday evening, and Sunday, with its morning pint (Frühschoppen) and Sunday shopping, cleverly combined the village festival with the local businesses' shopping day.

Based on this success, the municipality, with Mayor Frank Burkard, has continued the second edition in 2026 in practically the same format – a conscious consolidation of the format before considering expansions. The Village Festival International is thus one of the younger but established festivals in the calendar of the Karlsruhe district.
