Lohr — the Snow White town

Lohr am Main in the Lower Franconian district of Main-Spessart bears the epithet "Snow White town" — local historians connect the Brothers Grimm fairy tale with historical events in the town on the Main. The Lohrer Zwergenaufstand picks up precisely on this identity: the first district-wide children's and family festival that draws families from the entire Main-Spessart district and beyond into the Lohr city center year after year.

Snow White distributes apples

The highlight of the festival is the appearance of the Lohrer Schneewittchen (Lohr's Snow White), who distributes apples to guests in the pedestrian zone around midday — a charming nod to the town's most famous fairy tale. Young visitors can meet Snow White, take photos, and take home their red apple.

Dwarf scavenger hunt and mega clown show

A diverse family program spans two to three festival days. A Zwerge-Schnitzeljagd (dwarf scavenger hunt) leads children through the historic old town — collect stamps in participating shops, with rewards waiting at the end. A Mega-Clown-Show, a Zumba party, a free children's city tour, and play activities in front of the shops ensure a lively city center atmosphere.

Schmecktakel meets Zwergenaufstand

The gastronomic festival Schmecktakel takes place parallel to the Zwergenaufstand — a combination that elevates the entire family festival to a new level. Food trucks with specialties from all over the world open from Ascension Day/Corpus Christi at 10:30 AM, accompanied by brass music starting at 11 AM in the city center. Parents can make culinary discoveries while the children are entertained by the dwarf program.

Lohr after the change in the business association

The Lohr business association announced in 2026 that it would withdraw from organizing city festivals — news that caused discussion in Lohr. However, the town of Lohr and the Tourist Information have continued the Zwergenaufstand because the festival is firmly anchored in the family-friendly profile of the Snow White town. It shows how municipal tourism management can combine tradition and change.

City center and Spessart Museum

Visitors to the festival can combine their day with a visit to the Spessartmuseum in Lohr Castle — where the Snow White connection of Lohr is historically presented. The Main Cycle Path also leads directly through Lohr — a perfect day for cycling families from the Main Valley.
