The Lantern Festival in Bad Homburg is the largest and most traditional folk festival in the Taunus region and has been celebrated since 1935. Every year, over 500,000 guests visit the festival, which takes place at the end of August/beginning of September.
The entire illuminated city center is transformed into a single fairground. From Louisenstraße to Ritter-von-Marx-Brücke and the large fairground on Heuchelbach, stalls, food stalls, wine and beer gardens and carousels line the streets.
Music and entertainment: rock and pop bands play live in the city center, on the quaint Weed in the old town, in front of the castle and under the arches of the bridges. There are also quiet and romantic corners, such as the many beautiful courtyards in the old town.
Parades: Don't miss the two parades with floats and music groups on Saturday and Sunday. You can also admire the charming Bad Homburg Lantern Queen from up close.
