Kirwa in the Schlosspark

The Schwarzenfelder Kirwa takes place in the Schlosspark of Schwarzenfeld, a market town in the district of Schwandorf in the Oberpfalz region of Eastern Bavaria. The park-like setting around the castle gives the Kirchweih a special atmosphere and distinguishes it from purely street-based Kirwa festivals.

Date and Schedule

The Kirwa is celebrated on the first weekend of September over four days. As is typical for Upper Palatinate Kirchweihen, a Kirwabaum (Kirwa tree), festival activities, music, and social gatherings characterize the event. The municipality of Schwarzenfeld is the organizer.

New Festival Host from 2026

With the 2026 edition, Daniel Feuerer takes over as the new festival host, responsible for catering at the Schwarzenfelder Kirwa. This marks the beginning of a new chapter for one of the most important festivals in the market's calendar.

Upper Palatinate Kirwa Tradition

The Kirwa is firmly anchored in the district of Schwandorf. It combines traditional customs with the convivial character of a village festival and is a central meeting point for locals and guests from the region.
