Welcome to the Old Town Festival

You can look forward to our popular Old Town Festival again this year! Here you can drink, eat and even dance. From guided tours of the town and a "Schafkopf" tournament to a colourful music and children's programme, you will experience convivial days in the heart of our town from 31 May to 2 June 2024.

Discover what Herzogenaurach's clubs have to offer and how deeply rooted voluntary work is in the town on a weekend stroll through the town centre. Stalls with specialities from all over the world invite you to linger. You can also get to know Herzogenaurach's twin towns better. Various bands and the Stadtkapelle provide a great atmosphere on the stages on the market square and in the castle courtyard.
