About St.-Anna-Kirmes
The Largest Kirmes in the Hunsrück
The municipality of Morbach, with its numerous districts, is one of the largest municipalities in Rhineland-Palatinate and the economic center of the Hunsrück. The St.-Anna-Kirmes is the municipality's largest event and one of the most important dates in the Hunsrück festival calendar. It has been celebrated for generations around the feast day of Saint Anne (July 26th).
Five Days of Volksfest
From Friday, July 24th, to Tuesday, July 28th, 2026, the Morbach festival grounds will transform into a large festival area with all the elements of a classic Volksfest: showmen with carousels, roller coaster elements, dodgems, wave flyers, and children's rides, snack stands, candy stalls, beer gardens, and festival tents with live bands.
Several Music Stages
A special feature of the Morbacher St.-Anna-Kirmes is the musical program on several stages. Cover bands, regional acts, and dance bands alternate. The main stage in the festival tent provides a packed dance program late into the night.
Cooperation with the Morbacher Musiksommer
An important characteristic of the event is the close cooperation with the parallel Morbacher Musiksommer. Concerts of the Musiksommer (July 24th–27th) take place partly on the Kirmes stage and enrich the musical program with high-quality open-air acts.
Festival Parade and Traditions
As with many traditional Kirmes festivals, a festival parade is one of the highlights here, supplemented by traditional elements such as the keg tapping on the opening day, a children's afternoon with reduced prices, and a final fireworks display on Tuesday evening.
St.-Anna-Kirmes — edition 2026
The 2026 edition follows the traditional concept. For five days, Volksfest, music, and traditions shape the image of the municipality of Morbach.
The integration with the Morbacher Musiksommer allows visitors to experience an expanded musical program that goes beyond the usual Kirmes format.
