Pfaffenhäuser Kier: Folk festival highlights and atmospheric evenings!

There is always something going on in Hesse, and that is especially true today. The Main-Kinzig district kicks off the festivities with the Pfaffenhäuser Kier, a traditional church consecration celebration in Pfaffenhausen, which takes place from July 19th to 22nd. But today, July 18th, the festival is already in full swing and promises a weekend full of music and social gatherings.

The festivities offer many highlights: Tonight the party band WKKW will make the tent shake from 8:30 p.m. The serving can always be served here until 2 a.m. and celebrations are in order until 3 a.m. The beer flows freely and there is also social entertainment for those who want to do more than just dance. A good reason to get your friends together and ring in the weekend with celebration.

A real experience for young and old

The corn maze in Waechtersbach also attracts visitors beyond the city limits. It opened its doors at 11am today and the cow-shaped labyrinth stretches across two acres - that's three football fields of fun and adventure. With stamp stations and a raffle at the end of the season, the trip is an exciting experience, and not just for the little ones. The labyrinth is open until 7 p.m. every day and entry costs just 3 euros per person.

For fans of the traditional market atmosphere, a market spectacle is on offer at Freiheitsplatz in Hanau until Sunday. The “Guild of Market Criers” provides entertainment here and offers a colorful range from fish to fruit and plants to curious offerings. The funny verbal battles between the barkers are a highlight, especially for the audience, and you can also vote for the “barker of the day”.

Tradition and new faces in the police service

Another news that is causing a stir today is the introduction of Franz Josef Hiery as the new head of the Bad Orb police station, which takes place today at 10 a.m. With his many years of experience in the security and criminal police, Hiery brings a breath of fresh air to the authority and will certainly ensure the safety of citizens in the region.

The festivities in Hesse are legendary and attract hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. The Folk festival Around Hessentag has established itself as the largest folk festival in the region with over 500,000 visitors and offers a mix of traditional and modern activities - perfect for celebrating together and experiencing Hessian culture.

So it's no wonder that there is great anticipation for the coming days. The Pfaffenhäuser Kier not only promises a great program, but also a great communal experience for all guests. So let’s go, enjoy Prosecco and performances!
