Overview

In late July 2026 the Bavarian town of Forchheim opened its annual Annafest with a musical inauguration, speeches by the mayor and the 11th beer queen, and a parade winding through the town’s streets before ending at the Schützenkeller. The festivities featured local heritage dance groups, music ensembles, and shooting displays, highlighting community spirit.

A few days later, the Allgäuer Festwoche in Kempten marked its 75th anniversary, presenting a large trade‑fair and cultural programme that included a tractor meet, an Alphorn concert, a benefit run, and a light festival. Separate from the main event, the Miss Annafest 2026 competition opened for public online voting, allowing visitors to support regional candidates until early August.
