Homburger Stadtfest

The Homburg City Festival and Kirmes

The last Homburg City Festival?

We are sad to report that the City of Homburg will no longer be holding the annual city festival.

A recent meeting of the Homburg city council unanimously decided to discontinue the annual event.

The following text was published by your inkwire team for the 2014 Festival, now archived for the history books and future generations:

Once again the city of Homburg will be pulling all the stops for this year’s fifth annual Homburg City Festival & Fun Fair. The entire Homburg inner-city pedestrian zone will become home to a whole host of fairground rides, walking acts and numerous festival events. There will be lots to entertain the kids including handicrafts, children’s fashion shows, painted faces and many more activities where children can join in and have fun.

There will be an abundance of stalls offering local delicacies and refreshments available throughout the weekend.

The main attraction areas will be the shows and performances on the stages located at the historical Marktplatz, and the Christian-Weber-Platz.

The Fest will be declared officially open on the evening of Friday, September 12 at 20:00 hrs by Karlheinz Schöner the Mayor of Homburg.
