Annafest at the Forchheim Bierkellers (beer gardens)

Each year around 26 July the Kellerwald is the center of franconian hospitality. The Annafest celebrated here since 1840 is one of the most interesting and charming folk festivals in Franconia. More than 20 Bierkellers (seven are open all year round) serving food and drinks, a Ferris wheel and a childrens carousel to name but two of the many amusement rides and stands all rounded off with excellent live Bavarian music and also modern music bands. There are many stands selling anything from german sausages, barbecued food, platters and fried fish as well as non-consumables.
 

Family Days with reduced prices are on Tuesday and Thursday from 1.00 pm to 6.00 pm.

With seatings for about 30.000 the Kellerwald provides enough space for the 450.000 - 500.000 visitors who come during the 10-day festival period, so that everyone, from near or far, can always find a seat.
