Overview

In 2025, Thurnau again celebrated its three traditional Kirchweih festivals around the Neptune Fountain: the Zwiebelaskerwa in spring, the Hauptkerwa in summer, and the Herbstkerwa in autumn. As every year, numerous market stalls, children's attractions, and an accompanying programme created a festive Kirchweih atmosphere in the historic town centre.
