About Kurparkfest Weiskirchen

The Weiskircher Kurparkfest is considered one of the largest and most atmospheric Volksfeste (popular festivals) in the northern Saarland. For three days, the idyllic Kurpark (spa park) grounds around the pond in Weiskirchen transform into a festival mile with live music, the IKK Südwest Kurparklauf on Saturday, a large antique and flea market on Sunday, and a fireworks display to conclude.

Getting there

Weiskirchen is located in the Merzig-Wadern district, about 50 km north of Saarbrücken. By car via the A1 (exit Reinsfeld) or A8 (exit Wadern). By public transport from Saarburg or Wadern train station via bus line ME (Saarland tariff).

Admission

Admission to the festival is free. Participation in the Kurparklauf requires pre-registration and a participation fee (approx. €10–15).

Accommodation

Hotels and spa clinics in Weiskirchen, as well as guesthouses in Wadern, Losheim am See, and Bostalsee. As a health resort, Weiskirchen offers a particularly quiet place to stay.

Tip

If you want to visit the flea market on Sunday, you should be there before 11 a.m. — the best items are traded early.

Spa town with festival tradition

Weiskirchen in the Merzig-Wadern district is a state-recognized health resort and a popular hiking area in the Saarland's Hochwald region. The extensive Kurpark with its pond, promenades, and concert shell is the heart of the community — and once a year, at the beginning of August, it becomes the venue for the Kurparkfest, which the municipality of Weiskirchen organizes together with local clubs.

Three days, three characters

The festival is divided into three very different daily formats:

Friday — Opening and dance evening with a cover band
Saturday — IKK Südwest Kurparklauf (popular run around the pond), evening main concert with a dance cover band
Sunday — Large antique and flea market, morning pint with brass music, family afternoon, and fireworks display in the evening

Kurparklauf — Sport in a nature reserve

The IKK Südwest Kurparklauf, with several distances (Bambini run, 5 km, 10 km), is an established running event in the Hochwald calendar. The course leads around the pond and partly into the surrounding spa forest. Registration via the municipality in advance.

Club gastronomy by the pond

Food and drink stands are operated by Weiskirchen clubs — sports clubs, carnival associations, marksmen, local history society, scouts. Schwenkbraten (grilled pork neck), Lyoner (sausage), fries, and beer dominate the classic Saarland menu, supplemented by coffee and homemade cakes on Sunday afternoon.

Antique and flea market with a supra-regional audience

The Sunday antique and flea market attracts visitors from a wider region. Over 100 stalls in the Kurpark grounds offer antiques, bric-a-brac, handicrafts, and collectibles. A magnet for bargain hunters from all over the Saarland and the adjacent Palatinate.

Fireworks display over the pond

The festival concludes with a fireworks display on Sunday evening, launched from the pond and reflected on the water — one of the most atmospheric fireworks finales in the Saarland festival calendar.
