Kaufbeuren celebrates the dance festival: a historical spectacle in 2025!
Kaufbeuren is in the starting blocks for its fifth annual festival and will be transformed into the fascinating dance festival city between July 17th and 28th, 2025. This spectacle is not only Bavaria's oldest historical children's festival, but also captivates over 50,000 visitors every year. This year, locals and guests can look forward to a fantastic program that brings Kaufbeuren's history from the late Middle Ages to the Biedermeier period to life. How wir-sind-kaufbeuren.de reported, the festive opening will take place on July 17th at 7:30 p.m. in the Tanzrondell. Visitors can look forward to an ecumenical service, atmospheric music, theater performances and of course the traditional dance festival fanfare.
The festival attracts the attention of visitors with over 1,800 participating children parading through the streets in historical costumes. The entry of Emperor Maximilian I - a homage to the legendary Habsburg - will also be celebrated with large parades that begin on July 20th and 21st at 1:30 p.m. in front of the town hall. This weekend, like that kaufbeuren-tourismus.de, you can also expect many music groups and floats to take part in the colorful parade together with horse-drawn carriages.
Medieval flair and culinary delights
A highlight of the festival will be the “Historical Camp Life”, which will take place in the old town on July 18th and 19th. Here visitors can immerse themselves in the medieval world, surrounded by crafts, jugglers and music. The colorful hustle and bustle at the Häfelesmarkt from July 20th to 21st will also enrich the festival, with children's crafts and traditional dances that reflect the way of life of bygone times.
The festival tent is open daily from 11 a.m. for the entire duration of the event and offers delicious regional specialties as well as a varied music program for all generations. The culinary delights and social gatherings are an integral part of the dance festival, which also includes a wide range of amusement rides that provide fun and experiences from July 19th to 28th.
An event for the whole family
Another highlight is the Old People's Dancing Day on July 23rd, followed by an impressive brilliant fireworks display on July 27th and a family afternoon on the last day of the festival, July 28th. The anticipation for the events is great and everyone involved - from the little child in historical costume to the organizers - are working together to make this event unforgettable. The attention to detail with which the historical costumes are designed brings a piece of history to life and makes visitors' hearts beat faster.
The magic of the dance festival, like that dein-allgaeu.de, remains unsurpassed over the years and promises to be an exciting experience again in 2025 that puts tradition and community at the forefront. If the festival is being celebrated in this form for the fifth time, then it is clear: Kaufbeuren knows how to throw a good party!
