Fascination Thanksgiving: 30,000 radishes for Fürth's pageant!

in Fürth are the signs of solemnity, because this year's Thanksgiving grade promises to become a highlight in the city. On October 6, a splendid move moves through the streets, which is accompanied by numerous clubs and participants. Preparations are in full swing and the vegetables for the festive cars are ready. A total of around 30,000 radishes as well as large quantities of carrots and radishes are used to decorate the impressive harvest crowns. These are not only used as a festive eye -catcher, but will also be sold or donated for a good cause.

The Thanksgiving withdrawal has a long tradition in Fürth, which goes back to 1817, as farmers pulled through the city with a colorful vegetable car. After poor harvesting and famine, they celebrated the end of their efforts with music and festivity. Today's format of the pageant was launched in 1954 and is now part of Michaelis-Kirchweih, one of the oldest autumn festivals in the region. Last year the move attracted around 100,000 visitors who lined the streets and admired the impressive cars.

a festival for all senses

Under the sounds of brass bands and Spielmanns trains, numerous customs and traditional costumes move through the city. The show is not only a pleasure for the eyes, but also for the ears. The tradition of Thanksgiving is kept alive with impressive splendor of the local breweries and artistically decorated cars. The anticipation is growing, because this year more groups are involved than ever before, which leads to the assumption that the originally planned broadcast time on BR television may not be sufficient. Therefore, the pageant will not only be transferred on television, but also as a livestream in the ARD Mediathek and on Frankenschau.de.

The special guests include local celebrities. The music train of TSV 1895 Burgfarrnbach and the cheerleaders "Farrnbach Shamrocks" lead the train. The classic car friends Zenngrund e.V. complete the spectacle with historical tractors. In the middle of this festive atmosphere, the Mayor of Fürth, Thomas Jung, will also ride in a festive carriage. Another highlight are the appearances of various cultural associations, including Greek and Turkish, which contribute to the cultural diversity of the move.

The pageant is much more than just a custom. It symbolizes the thanks of the people for the harvest and promotes the coexistence of cultures. For many visitors, it is a successful opportunity to enjoy a piece of home and celebrate the community. What has become a social event not only in recent years, but also a sign of cohesion within the city, will inspire people again this time.

This event is a big occasion for the audience to celebrate together. The decades of tradition and the variety of performances make Thanksgiving to a special event in the city's calendar. As a real shop window of regional culture and agriculture, the pageant attracts both locals and tourists and offers everyone involved the opportunity to take part in community life. The bridge between tradition and modern life is always visible on this occasion.
