Muggeley Neighbourhood Festival Nuremberg

Six Neighbourhoods, One Festival

The "Muggeley" — short for the neighbourhood festival of Nuremberg's western suburbs — has been bringing residents from the six districts of Muggenhof, Eberhardshof, Doos, Leyh, Gaismannshof, and Höfen together for an afternoon since 2010. All these districts belong to the North-West district of Nuremberg and are historically shaped by industrial settlements (AEG, MAN, Triumph-Adler).

The Friedrich-Wanderer-School as a Stage

The festival site is the schoolyard of the Friedrich-Wanderer-School at Wandererstraße 170 — a central secondary school in the district. The open grounds with the schoolyard, assembly hall, adjacent park, and Paul-Ritter-Straße as an additional activity area offer enough space for stage performances and activity stations.

International Dance Programme

A special hallmark of Muggeley is its international dance programme. Over the course of an afternoon, dance groups from various migrant communities in the district perform — from classical Indian dance and Turkish folklore to Greek folk dances, Filipino, Romanian, and Flamenco. This directly reflects the cultural diversity of the western suburbs in the programme.

Families and Children in Focus

School choirs open the day. In the afternoon, there's a performance of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". Craft stations, face painting, and games run concurrently. The children's and youth flea market (1:00 PM–4:00 PM) on Paul-Ritter-Straße is an additional highlight. A stamp rally competition with prizes guides children around the festival grounds.

Food from All Over the World

The food on offer comes from the district's communities and associations — culinary delights from all over the world, drinks, and snacks. The organizers are the City of Nuremberg and the Kulturladen Muggenhof.
