More than beer and bratwurst: The Herzogenaurach Old Town Festival

Old Town Festival sounds like just swaying to folk music to you? You couldn’t be more wrong. Every year in Herzogenaurach there are three days of “meet and mix” of traditional craftsmanship and modern sports performances, Franconian bratwurst and cevapcici, and: of folk music and rock music.     Due to the Corona pandemic it is not yet sure whether the Old Town Festival can actually take place as planned from June 17 - 19, 2022. We will keep you up to date here regarding the corresponding planning process.

During the traditional Old Town Festival in Herzogenaurach, you will learn about the offers of the various clubs and associations in Herzogenaurach and about how deep the roots of honorary commitment are in our town, when strolling over the market square and through Hauptstraße (main street). Additionally, booths offering specialties from many different foreign countries invite you to stay for a while. Learn about the twin towns of Herzogenaurach as well! Amongst others, the Stadtjugendkapelle (brass band) creates a cosy atmosphere with their music. And at night? Numerous bands on different stages set the town center on fire. 

Kids program and Shopping Sunday

The Old Town Festival is to be a festival for adults as well as for children so there always is an exciting kids program as well. While the children have fun with the kids program, you may enjoy the Shopping Sunday with some strolling and shopping.
