Effelder Kerwa: Children dance, adults celebrate traditions!

Effelder, Deutschland - In Effelder, the anticipation for the Kerwa has been celebrated this year long in advance. The traditions around this festival are very popular. Especially the Kinnerkerwa , which takes place on Sunday Spell. Here the children can show their colorful dances on the square in front of the dance linden, while the adults participate in lively traditional dances such as waltz, Rhinelander and Schott and loosen up the atmosphere.

The Kinnerkerwa is not only a highlight for the youngest, but also an opportunity for the whole community to come together and to share the joy of dance and music. Later the adult linden dance will continue the happy mood, another highlight of the festival. This tradition, which is deeply rooted in the community, ensures a warm connection between the generations.

A look at the Kirwa traditions

But the festival has more to offer. A special spectacle is expected at the KirwaBär on Kirwamontag. The Kirwa bear is chosen from the Kirwapaare. The selection is often made by curious criteria such as late appearance or drinking resistance, which ensures a lot of cheerfulness. Equipped with an eerie bear costume and coal, it goes through the village and ensures joy - and also a little nonsense by smearing passers -by, children and villagers with soot.

die Kirwagemeinände accompanies the KirwaBär, often together with musicians. Your path leads you from one tavern to the next, where the mood is further fueled at dance and schnapps. These traditions are not just local customs, but a lively expression of the cohesion and identity of the village community.

In the further course of the festival, which takes place from July 7th to 9th in the Schlosspark of Effelder, the atmosphere is enriched by numerous events and conversations. Exhibitions, games and culinary delights ensure that there is something for everyone. The Kerwa not only attracts the villagers, but also numerous visitors from outside who are enthusiastic about the celebrations.

once again it shows how alive the culture and traditions are in Effelder. The Kerwa is more than a simple festival; It is an expression of community life and joy that combine many generations.
