Heilsbronn

On September 5, 2026, it will once again be time at Klosterweiher in Heilsbronn: the stage is set for the king of the ponds! From 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., the 10th Heilsbronn Carp Festival invites everyone to celebrate the opening of the new carp season together and experience the traditional harvesting of the Klosterweiher up close. Look forward to an eventful day right by the water with regional carp specialties, sweet treats, and atmospheric live music by the Heilsbronn Musicians and Andi O.. Of course, the specially brewed “Karpfenlüstling” beer for the Carp Festival will also be there. This dark full-bodied beer impresses with a delicate sweetness and a malty-bitter finish—the perfect accompaniment to the day’s culinary delights. In addition to the fish dishes, regional direct marketers will present their high-quality products. There will also be arts and crafts vendors inviting visitors to browse and discover their lovingly made creations. There is plenty on offer for younger guests too: in the children’s pavilion, a variety of craft activities, fishing games, quiz questions, and more await all young visitors. The organizers and everyone involved look forward to spending an enjoyable day in the Heilsbronn carp region together with many guests and celebrating the long tradition of local pond farming. You can find all information about the Carp Festival at www.heilsbronn.de. Organizer: City of Heilsbronn, associations of Heilsbronn businesses, Pond Cooperative of the Ansbach District, and the Pond Community of Heilsbronn and Surroundings.
