About Marktplatzfest Rheinzabern

The Marktplatzfest Rheinzabern transforms the central market square of the Southern Palatinate municipality of Rheinzabern into a convivial meeting place for a summer day. The municipality and local clubs provide catering at the central square, framed by historic buildings and the town hall, with Palatinate specialties — Bratwurst, Saumagen, Flammkuchen, accompanied by Palatinate wine and beer. A small stage and family program rounds off the day. Rheinzabern, the ancient Tabernae, looks back on a Roman-archaeological history and gives the festival its special historical background. Free admission.

The Marktplatzfest Rheinzabern is a classic Southern Palatinate street and village festival organized by the municipality of Rheinzabern together with local clubs. Rheinzabern is a historically rich municipality with around 5,000 inhabitants and looks back on a significant Roman past — the ancient Tabernae was one of the most important Roman pottery centers in the hinterland of the Limes.

Venue: Market Square

The market square in the center of Rheinzabern, framed by historic buildings and the town hall, offers a particularly beautiful setting for a village festival. Pavilions and catering counters are set up for the Marktplatzfest, and a small stage provides musical accompaniment.

Catering

Palatinate specialties dominate the culinary offerings: Bratwurst, Saumagen, Leberknödel, Flammkuchen, fries, coffee and cake in the afternoon. Palatinate wine from a regional vintner, Palatinate beer on tap, and Palatinate Schorle complement the selection. The clubs take turns catering.

Program

The program is deliberately kept manageable — convivial get-togethers are the focus. Local music clubs, dance groups, or acoustic acts perform on stage. For the children, there are small games and possibly a bouncy castle.
