On the first Saturday in October, the town center is transformed into a "Viezmeile" (cider mile) where, in addition to the numerous stalls with culinary delicacies and Merzig Viez, visitors will also find four stages where music clubs and bands from the region offer the public musical entertainment.
This Saturday, the town of Merzig will once again be all about cider. The event is one of the largest folk festivals on the Saar. Musical performances are also planned on three stages in the town center.
Inspired by the long-standing tradition of apple growing in Merzig and especially in the neighboring Saargau region, the "Merziger Äppelkischd", as well as the production of "Merziger Viez" (cider), the Viezfest, the first and largest folk festival of its kind on the Saar, was founded in 1970. It is ruled by the Merzig Viez triumvirate, the Merzig Viez Queen and her two princesses.
