Kirwa time again

Kirwa is a Drachselsried festival

The name Kirwa is Bavarian and comes from the German word Kirchweih, which means an end of season celebration.

Starting on Friday 30th August and finishing on Monday 2nd September 2013 the Kirwa festival involves a procession on Friday at 18:00, marching from the village centre or Dorfplatz, to this year's brewery festival hall. The festival is held every year, the last week-end in August.

Drachselsried is fortunate to have two successful breweries, Falterbräu and Schlossbräu. This year it is Falterbräu's turn to host Kirwa. Expect music, plenty of noise and lots of beer.

As Saturday dawns, the street market opens with up to 200 market stalls. normally from 08:00 to 14:00.

Welcome and enjoy yourself. Don't drink and drive, it can be fatal.
