Church Fair in Kriegenbrunn:

“Small but mighty” is the motto of the Kriegenbrunn parish fair, which will take place from June 19–22, 2026, right in front of the fire station. With a lot of dedication and love, the village community, together with the festival organizer, has put together a festival program that offers everything you’d expect from a proper Franconian church fair.

Parish Fair in Bruck:

From July 3–6, 2026, colorful rides and amusement attractions will line the old town center along Felix-Klein-Straße all the way to the Protestant Church of “Peter and Paul.” A well-organized festival tent team from the Brucker Gaßhenker will ensure plenty of food, drink, and a great atmosphere.

Parish Fair in the Outskirts Neighborhood:

Right in the heart of the Stadtrandsiedlung, the “Siedler” will celebrate their parish fair at Damaschkeplatz from July 24–27, 2026. Traditional carnival rides and an inviting food court under shady trees make this parish fair well worth a visit.

Parish Fair in Alterlangen:

Not far from the Regnitzgrund and therefore easily accessible by bike, the Alterlangen parish fair will take place from July 31 to August 3, 2026. Every year, the old town center around the “Drei Linden” restaurant buzzes with lively activity.

Büchenbach Parish Fair:

From August 7–10, 2026, the old town center transforms into a vibrant fairground for four days, featuring numerous rides and amusement attractions. The local restaurant “Güthlein” will serve traditional fair dishes and provide a musical program to round out the festivities.

Parish Fair in Tennenlohe:

From August 14–17, 2026, traditional Franconian customs will be on display at the large festival grounds on Sebastianstraße. This includes good food, rides and attractions for younger visitors, and music. Since 2024, the parish fair has been hosted by a new festival organizer serving “Kreis Bier.”

Kosbach Parish Fair:

From August 21–24, 2026, the Kosbach Kirchweih will offer not only well-known Franconian specialties such as Schlachtschüssel and Schäuferla but also a few hidden culinary gems. Of course, plenty of entertainment is also guaranteed.

Parish Fair in Eltersdorf:

There will be extensive celebrations on Egidienplatz and along Eltersdorfer Straße from September 4–7, 2026. From bumper cars to the “Baby Flug” ride, there’s plenty to enjoy here. The well-known Schächtner tent will set the mood. The highlight comes on Sunday at noon with the traditional village fair parade through the village, organized by the Kerwasburschen and -Madli.

Parish Fair in Dechsendorf:

Since 2022, Dechsendorfer Platz has had a new festival tent operator, who is already looking forward to providing food and creating a lively atmosphere in Dechsendorf from September 4–7, 2026. Here, too, you can try your hand at the Spicker game every year and take a spin on the children’s carousel.

Village Fair in Hüttendorf:

In Eichenlohe, from September 11–14, 2026, you can test your skills at the shooting gallery and watch the little ones on the swings while enjoying the delicious smells of cotton candy and freshly roasted almonds. The Krone Inn, run by the Schäfer family, offers a warm and friendly gathering place.

Parish Fair in Frauenaurach:

Right in the heart of Frauenaurach on Herdegenplatz, the residents of Frauenaurach and their guests will celebrate their parish fair from September 25–28, 2026. Traditionally, the festival tree is erected on Saturday, and on Sunday, a church service is held in the Gothic church right next to the event venue. Anyone who’s interested can stay for a morning beer afterward.
