About this event

Wäldchestag is a beloved Frankfurt tradition dating back centuries. Held in the Stadtwald (city forest) over the Whitsun weekend, the festival offers a mix of fairground rides, music stages, food stalls serving local specialties like Ebbelwei and Worscht, and a lively atmosphere. This year, the festival runs from Friday 14 May to Tuesday 18 May, with varying opening hours. While Tuesday (Wäldchestag proper) is traditionally a day off for many local businesses, the whole weekend is a celebration of Frankfurt culture and community.
