The celebrations will continue in Lauterbach until Sunday. Visitors to the premium market can look forward to tradition, rides and special events.
Lauterbach – The Lauterbach premium market is in full swing: Until Sunday (June 7th), the Bleiche in the district town will once again be transformed into a meeting point for thousands of visitors. The traditional folk festival with a parade and barrel tapping was officially opened on Saturday.
In bright sunshine, the colorful parade moved from the market square to the festival square. For the last time, Mayor Rainer-Hans Vollmöller opened the premium market in his role as town hall boss. In his speech, he emphasized the importance of the festival for community, home and tradition. He received support at the tapping of the barrel from beer queen Anne Saller, who is also saying goodbye after two years in office. With just one blow, the barrel was opened and the 254th premium market was officially opened.
Beer queen, animal show, fireworks: this is what the Lauterbach premium market has to offer
Guests of honor, politicians and representatives of the city then explored the festival mile with its rides, marquees and stands. The focus was on encounters and conversations as well as the first rides on the fairground attractions.
But the festival week still has numerous highlights to offer. The 34th Lauterbach Beer Queen will be elected on Monday. The 12th Lauterbacher Strolchenlauf follows on Tuesday, followed by a finisher party.
The traditional highlights include Wednesday: The big animal show with awards, the grocer's market, the traditional market meal and an all-day amusement park are on the program. In the evening, illuminations in the old town create a special atmosphere.
On Friday the premium market invites you to have a morning drink. The fireworks display on the Bleiche on Saturday evening is likely to be another crowd puller. The event concludes on Sunday with a family day with an animal show.
The Lauterbach premium market is one of the oldest and largest folk festivals in the region. For more than two centuries it has combined agricultural traditions with fairs, club life and social gatherings. (By Erich Stock and Leon Schmitt)
