Pfingstweidefest Ludwigshafen

Pfingstweide District

Pfingstweide is a young district in the north of Ludwigshafen, which emerged as a new development area from the 1970s onwards and today represents an independent quarter with its own infrastructure, schools, and club life. Bürgerpark Pfingstweide forms the green center.

Kick-off of the Kerwe Season

The Pfingstweidefest traditionally marks the beginning of the Ludwigshafen Kerwe season – which extends until late October with the Pfalzfest, the Stadtfest, and the district Kerwen of Mundenheim, Oppau, Edigheim, Oggersheim, Friesenheim, Ruchheim, Maudach, and Rheingönheim. This kick-off gives the festival its special significance in the calendar.

Festival Grounds at Bürgerpark

The festival grounds on the parking lot next to Bürgerpark Pfingstweide offer ample space for several rides, smaller carousels, candy stalls, game booths, and snack stands. The adjacent Bürgerpark serves as a green relaxation area – families can combine the folk festival with a walk in the park.

Traditional Rides and Confectioneries

Classic rides – carousels, smaller roller coaster-like devices, children's rides – characterize the festival grounds. Confectioneries and candy stalls have been part of German folk festival tradition for generations and are also represented here: gingerbread hearts, Magenbrot, cotton candy, candied almonds, Turkish delight.
