=====================================================================
In the picturesque towns of Bavaria, summer has been a season of celebration, with fire department festivals (Feuerwehrfest) and traditional community events lighting up the evenings. Here's a roundup of some of the recent festivities that have taken place in Eslarn, Waldsassen, Ploßberg, Hahnbach, Kürmreuth, Wolfsbach, and Fahrenberg.
Eslarn's home festival, known as the blue light day, was a spectacle with 12 associations and organizations participating. The event featured an array of activities, from creative workshops for children and adults to fun games and crafts. The Original Fichtelgebirgsmusikanten, under the direction of Franz Josef Pscherer, provided the perfect soundtrack with their lively party music.
Waldsassen's fire department hosted their annual summer festival, attracting numerous visitors. The highlight of the event was a record-breaking attendance of 65 historical fire department vehicles. This impressive display showcased the town's rich firefighting history and tradition.
In Hahnbach, the Frohnberg festival was graced by the presence of Priest Birner, who delivered a well-received sermon on ancient questions of meaning and the hope at the heart of the celebration.
Meanwhile, in Ploßberg, the fire department hosted their 35th strong beer festival in the cultural hall. The event, despite the occasional showers, was a success, with the community coming together to enjoy traditional Bavarian food, music, and drinks.
The Kürmreuther Kirwaleut celebrated their most significant festival, with Anna Barth and Leon Gebhard crowned as the new Oberkirwapaar. The Wolfsbacher Kirwa 2025, despite the rain, was a magical event, filled with heart, tradition, and surprises.
Fahrenberg welcomed 350 motorcyclists for their 25th motorcycle service in honour of the deceased "Spezln". Visitors now come from Austria to pay their respects and celebrate this touching tribute.
Throughout these events, the security service FriSec ensured a peaceful atmosphere, and the local fire departments took care of the cleaning, including night shifts, to ensure everything ran smoothly.
