About Spellefest Wieda

The Spellefest Wieda is one of the most traditional village community events on the southern edge of the Harz mountains, annually gathering the Wieda citizenry and their guests in late summer on Bohlweg in the Wieda district of the municipality of Walkenried. Organised by the Bürgergemeinschaft Pro Wieda e.V., the festival combines the classic village festival format with club participation, live music, dancing, and a family-oriented day programme. The name Spellefest refers to old Wieda dialect tradition and today is synonymous with the most important summer-early autumn citizens' festival of the place. Thus, the event is both an identity-creating community festival and a convivial meeting point for the entire region.

Wieda Citizens' Festival on Bohlweg

The Spellefest Wieda is a traditional village and community festival in the Wieda district of the municipality of Walkenried. The organiser is the Bürgergemeinschaft Pro Wieda e.V., a registered association dedicated to preserving the village community and promoting voluntary engagement in the area.

Bohlweg as the Festival Setting

The venue is Bohlweg, a central pathway in the Wieda district, which is transformed for the festival into an open festival mile with a stage, catering stands, seating areas, and game stations. The rural location on the Wieda stream provides an atmospheric setting for the citizens' festival.

Club Participation

The programme is significantly supported by local clubs: the shooting club, fire brigade, sports club, heritage society, and the Bürgergemeinschaft itself contribute with catering stands, interactive stations, and programme segments. Thus, the Spellefest is also a demonstration of the vibrant Wieda club culture through voluntary work.

Live Music and Family Day

An open-air stage offers space for live music and a dance evening, while a family area with game stations, a bouncy castle, and face painting is aimed at the youngest visitors. The Spellefest thus connects generations and positions itself as a weekend festival for the entire village community and its guests.

Spellefest Wieda — edition 2026
