Schwabach's Grand City Festival
Schwabach, the Franconian gold-beating city south of Nuremberg, celebrates its largest city festival with the Civic Festival. On the last weekend before the Bavarian summer holidays, the historic old town becomes a festival mile. With over 100 program items on several squares, the festival offers live music, culinary delights, arts and crafts, and entertainment for all generations for three days.
Two Stages, Many Bands
The musical heart of the Civic Festival are the two stages at Königsplatz and Martin-Luther-Platz. Live bands perform on all three evenings starting at 7:30 PM — from blues and rock to pop covers and singer-songwriters. The diversity of the stage programs makes the Civic Festival the musical highlight of Schwabach's summer event season.
Clubs, Gastronomy, and Market
The festival is supported by Schwabach's clubs, restaurateurs, and retailers, coordinated by the Schwabach Tourist Association together with the city. Stalls along the alleys offer Franconian delicacies, international cuisine, and drinks, as well as arts and crafts and a children's program. The historic backdrop of the old town with Stadtkirchplatz and the Goldbeater Museum shapes the atmosphere.
Schwabach — The Gold-Beating City
Schwabach is world-renowned for its gold leaf craftsmanship; genuine Schwabach gold leaf adorns domes and artworks around the globe. The compact historic old town with Königsplatz, Stadtkirche, and Schönem Brunnen invites you to stroll — the Civic Festival is the ideal occasion to get to know the city at its most vibrant.
