Dossenheim
The Dossenheim Christmas bustle takes place at Town Hall Square. A stage program offers musical entertainment, and the Dossenheim clubs serve food and drinks at their stalls. At the artisans' and artists' market in the town hall, you can browse for gifts again, and for children there is a story hour with Saint Nicholas.
When the streets of Dossenheim are decorated in bright colors, music fills the air, and the scent of all kinds of treats drifts by, then it’s that time again: Kerwe time in Dossene! The Dossemer Kerwe is not only the biggest festival in town, but also a lovingly maintained tradition. For over 200 years, the Holzäpfeltanz, the Bannweidgericht, the Kerwe sermon, and the Kerweschlumpel have been part of the fixed program — humorous, lively, and every year a highlight for all guests. The mayor, the local heritage association, the Dossema Bannweidbuwe, and all participating clubs warmly invite all residents of Dossenheim as well as guests from near and far to celebrate the Kerwe together. There is a colorful program for young and old. On the stage at Kronenburger Hof, you can look forward to a varied music program with great live bands: Rathausplatz turns into a small amusement park with bumper cars, a children’s carousel, sweet treats, and other attractions for the whole family. Around Kronenburger Hof, numerous stalls invite you to linger, and at the big flea market on Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m., bargain hunters can browse to their heart’s content. Main Street, Rathausstraße up to the local history museum, and Kronenburger Hof form a lively whole during the Kerwe. A detour to the local history museum is worthwhile: in the courtyard and the barn, cozy places to linger, delicious food and drinks, and live music await visitors.
