Discover events, parties and culture in Oberaurach.
On Saturday, October 3, 2026, Hutzelhof Hümmer in Fatschenbrunn invites visitors to the Hutzelfest from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The focus is on traditional Hutzel production, the special orchard meadow and tree-field cultural landscape, as well as regional crafts and culinary culture. The program begins at 11 a.m. with guided tours of the Hutzel drying house, a tour with beekeeper Karl Stapf through the Bee Paradise of Fatschenbrunn, from 1 to 3 p.m. a guided tour along the European Cultural Trail with Dr. Thomas Büttner, a children's program by OGV Eltmann with worm compost bins, and musical accompaniment by Judy Harper. There will also be fresh doughnuts, coffee, fine cakes, tasty sandwiches, and other treats. Hutzelhof will also show how the traditional Hutzeln are made. The Hutzelfest combines intangible cultural heritage, regional food, orchard meadows, nature, craftsmanship, and a family program - offering a special insight into the cultural landscape around Fatschenbrunn.
The special quality of this Advent market is ensured by the direct marketers who offer their goods here: farmhouse bread, spirits, honey, game and fish products. Anyone still looking for decoration or gift ideas will also find what they need here among the hobby crafters and artisans. From 12:00 noon, the glassblower once again invites children to create their own Christmas tree baubles in St. Ägidius House. But not only commerce, the true meaning of Advent also has its place at the Kirchaich market. At 2:30 p.m., there will be Advent reflections in the church. Saint Nicholas is expected with his carriage at 4:00 p.m.; at 5:00 p.m., the Kirchaich brass band will give a standing concert by the Christmas tree. Of course, refreshments will be well provided for — at the lunch buffet, at various stalls at the market, and in the coffee room in St. Ägidius House.
Traditionally on the third Sunday of Advent, the traditional Sternlesmarkt begins at 2:00 p.m. with unusual arts and crafts and Christmas refreshments. At 6:00 p.m., the "Schleichacher Christmas" then takes place in the Parish Church of St. Laurentius Oberschleichach. The "Albertos light," the Augsfelder musicians, the Schleichach gospel group, the group "Nur die," a trombone trio with piano, two transverse flutes and basso continuo, and a vocal group with piano accompaniment present a varied program of pre-Christmas melodies and look forward to many visitors.
