Parish Festival of the Parish of Sacred Heart Niederzissen

Parish of Sacred Heart Niederzissen

The Catholic Parish of Sacred Heart Niederzissen is the central church community of the Brohltal collective municipality. It serves the population of Niederzissen and several branch locations and maintains a vibrant parish life with services, sacraments, children's services, senior afternoons, and youth work. The Parish Festival is the social highlight of the parish calendar, bringing parishioners together once a year for a large communal summer day.

Last Sunday in June as the Date

In 2026, the Parish Festival will take place on Sunday, June 28th, a time when the weather is usually summery and stable, allowing the festival to be held outdoors around the parish hall. After the morning festive church service, the parish hall opens its doors and outdoor areas to guests.

Concert by Trio Doina

A musical highlight of the 2026 festival is the concert by Trio Doina. The ensemble performs Eastern European and Balkan music with accordion, violin, and other instruments, bringing an extraordinary musical touch to the parish festival. 'Doina' refers to a special form of improvised, melancholic singing in Romanian folk music and is considered a classic of folk music tradition in the region.

Food and Drink

Parishioners provide a diverse range of food and drinks. Cakes from home bakers, grilled items, cold drinks, coffee, and beer are offered at moderate prices. The proceeds from the festival benefit the parish and its charitable projects. The festival is open to all citizens, regardless of their denomination.
