Kerwa in the Heart of Central Franconia
Windsbach in the Ansbach district, widely known for the internationally renowned Windsbacher Knabenchor, celebrates its traditional Kirchweih every year. For five days, the festival grounds at Jahnring are transformed into a Franconian festival mile with a stage, festivities, and beer garden atmosphere.
Program and Atmosphere
The kick-off on Thursday is the comedy night 'Windsbach lacht' (ticketed). From Friday to Monday, admission to the festival grounds is free: live entertainment on stage, traditional lunches with musical accompaniment on Sunday and Monday, and afternoon beer garden atmosphere with children's activities shape the program. Spalter beer on tap, cocktails, wines, coffee, homemade cakes, regional cuisine, and international delicacies are offered.
For Families
Children can look forward to face painting, carousel rides, and a large sandbox – the Windsbacher Kirchweih explicitly sees itself as a family-friendly festival with genuine Franconian hospitality.
Regional Context
Windsbach is located in the Ansbach district in the administrative region of Middle Franconia in Bavaria, in the heart of the Franconian Lake District. The Kirchweih is one of the region's fixed summer dates and is closely linked to the identity of the boys' choir town.
