Schwabach Children's Kirchweih

A Spring Volksfest for Children and Families

The Schwabach Children's Kirchweih is a traditional spring Volksfest (traditional folk festival) that is entirely focused on children and families. It takes place in the city centre of Schwabach, an independent city in Middle Franconia, Bavaria. Under the motto "Five Days of Family Fun", the Kirchweih (traditional fair) offers a packed programme for all age groups.

Rides and Attractions

The offerings include rides for various age groups, including the children's roller coaster "Bugs & Bees", a bungee trampoline, a children's boat ride, and other carousels and amusement rides. Numerous food stalls serve sweet and savoury treats, from crêpes and ice cream to fries and Lángos, as well as classic Kirchweih delicacies.

Colourful Stage Programme

An exciting programme awaits visitors on the interactive stage: clowning, magicians, Punch and Judy shows, performances by dance and music schools, and youth orchestras, and a mini-disco on Friday and Saturday evenings. The festival is traditionally opened by Schwabach kindergartens and the Lord Mayor after a parade. Craft and sandpit activities are free of charge.

Participate and Win

A popular element is the rally game: families pick up a question sheet at the Bürgerbüro (citizens' office) or from the stallholders, solve the tasks, and hand in the sheet at the main stage, where a prize draw takes place. The Schwabach Children's Kirchweih thus combines classic Kirchweih fun with a distinctly child-friendly, participatory concept – a firm fixture in the spring calendar for families from Schwabach and the region.
