Nürnberger Altstadtfest
From 9/19/2025 - 10/5/2025
The Nürnberger Altstadtfest transforms Nuremberg into a celebration of Franconian culture, with two weeks of music, theatre, and culinary tradition in the heart of the Old Town. Held each autumn at Insel Schütt and Hans-Sachs Square, the festival features over 60 free events including concerts, folk performances, children’s rides, and the popular Hans-Sachs-Spiele. Highlights include the traditional fishermen’s joust on the River Pegnitz and regional specialties like onion tart and freshly pressed wine. This long-standing event offers a lively and authentic taste of Franconian heritage.
