Brigachtal celebrates: Thanksgiving with a parade and surprises!

In Brigachtal, the Thanksgiving Festival will be celebrated in a special way this year. From 3rd to October 7th, the small village is transformed into a center for celebrations that celebrates the tradition and culture of the Black Forest. Under the motto "Treasures of our childhood", numerous groups take part in an intoxicating parade that promises an unforgettable experience for young and old.

The festival begins on Thursday, October 3, the Day of German Unity, with a traditional barrel tapping at 10:30 a.m. Visitors are offered a varied program, including musical entertainment, an agricultural machinery exhibition and a classic car meeting. The children also get their money's worth with many beautiful offers. The day is a first foretaste of the coming festive days that come up with a wide range for all age groups.

festive start and highlight

On Friday, the “young Fidelen” from Hattingen will transform the marquee into a party zone with rousing sounds from 6 p.m. Saturday is all about the traditional costume evening, in which the Austrian band "Mountain Crew" creates atmospheric music. The atmosphere becomes special thanks to the music and the festively dressed guests.

on Sunday, October 6th, it will be serious. The Thanksgiving Service in the All Saints' Church begins at 9 a.m., which focuses on the deep roots of the Thanksgiving Festival. This service is of central importance for many visitors, because it is reminiscent of the gratitude for the gifts of nature and thus sets a strong sign of the tradition of this centuries -old custom.

After the solemn service, guests can look forward to the big parade, which starts at 2 p.m. The streets will fill with visitors from near and far who want to experience the colorful hustle and bustle. The ten creative motif cars of the rural youth groups in particular are a highlight that is worth admiring. Here, each group presents its own creative interpretation of the topic "treasures of our childhood", which remains a secret until it is presented on Sunday. Of course there will also be a jury that will award the most beautiful cars.

In addition, not only the motif cars, but also 35 other groups, including music clubs, horse -scale and historical tractors, will enrich the parade. Blasmusikkapellen will then create a exuberant atmosphere and make the solemn atmosphere even more intensive.
