Celebrations in Fürth this weekend with a historic Hoffest and Hofflohmarket
Next Saturday, July 19th, the city centre of Fürth, Germany, will transform into a vibrant stage for encounters, history, and culture. This special day marks not only the 175th anniversary of the historic town hall but also the 25th anniversary of the Hof Festival and the first-ever Hof Market.
The town hall's inner courtyard will be a focal point of the celebrations, offering a programme that ranges from readings, musical performances, exhibitions, and culinary delights. The event will run from 2 PM to 8 PM, with selected courtyards staying open until 10 PM.
A unique opportunity awaits visitors as they will have the chance to peek behind the facades of 35 residential communities, thanks to the Hof Market. This market, marked by orange balloons, has become an integral part of Fürth's city life and has grown steadily since its inception in 2017.
Bargain hunters and vintage enthusiasts are invited to search for treasures, clothes, and other trinkets at the Hof Market, which will be at 60 locations in the old and inner city. The market does not offer guided tours or culinary delights, as these are typically associated with the town hall and the festival.
Children will have access to numerous interactive activities, ensuring a fun-filled day for all ages. In the town hall inner courtyard, visitors can enjoy Italian specialties, music, and surprises.
Guided tours of the town hall tower, providing a stunning view over Fürth, will be offered, but prior registration through the tourist information is required.
The Hof Festival and Hof Market promise to be a memorable event, offering a unique blend of history, culture, and community spirit. Don't miss out on this special occasion in Fürth!
