Freinsheim's old town festival: longer celebration despite construction site chaos!

Freinsheim, Deutschland - The celebrations of the Freinsheim old town festival take place on the first weekend in Juni. The organizer, the Freinsheim tourist association, has paid special attention to the event concept this year. Due to construction work that has been delayed, the festival will take longer than usual this year. These delays were caused by a high level of sick leave at the commissioned construction company, which caused Mayor Jochen Weisbrod to publicly comment on the situation. Despite the challenges, the community looks forward to the festival.

During the old town festival, the market square, the Retzerpark, the Saarhof and the Bärenhof turn into a colorful festival area. Visitors can look forward to a diverse entertainment program that ranges from blues and jazz to oldies to folkloric performances. Traditional elements and nostalgic sounds complement the offer and offer something for every taste.
