Lindenfels
On the second Advent weekend, Lindenfels hosts a small but extremely cozy Christmas market in the unmistakably romantic setting below Lindenfels Castle at the Lion Fountain and in the community center.
The climatic health resort of Lindenfels is looking forward to its traditional Easter market, which will take place two weeks before Easter in the community center on Burgstraße. Admission is free. The focus of the market, which has been organized by the Lindenfels Tourist Association for over 40 years, is on artistically decorated Easter eggs created using a wide variety of techniques. The offering is complemented by Easter handicrafts, Easter and children's books, Easter arrangements and wreaths made from natural materials, felt, porcelain and woodwork, candles, jewelry, paper quilling, bags, gift wrapping, stone pictures and fabrics, as well as regional delicacies. In total, more than 30 vendors ensure a varied selection. Most of them come from the Odenwald-Bergstraße region and have been coming to the castle town for years to offer their goods. This year, there will once again be a few new faces, which guests can look forward to. As a special highlight - especially for the youngest visitors - chicks can be watched hatching. The Lindenfels ORNIS poultry breeding association presents in an incubator how the cute young birds work their way out of the egg.
When Bohemian brass music sounds through Lindenfels Castle Street on May 1, the spa gardens invite you to the traditional May celebration.

The May celebration is a popular destination for the May outing and offers entertainment for the whole family.
On the first weekend in August, the Odenwald town of Lindenfels once again celebrates its well-known Castle and Traditional Costume Festival, which has been held since 1904. The castle ruins, towering above the town, are transformed over three days into an unusual festival mile, and thousands of visitors line the streets for the historic traditional costume parade on Sunday. ### The program in detail: Opening with the Lindenfels choirs on Friday, followed by fireworks Traditionally, the festival in the spa gardens with the singing clubs begins on Friday evening. It starts at 7:00 p.m. A total of seven choirs from Lindenfels and its districts will present their talents on stage that evening. Admission is free. After the concert, fireworks are set off above the castle at nightfall, dramatically showcasing the historic backdrop and sure to attract many enthusiastic spectators. Unfortunately, the fireworks have to be canceled due to the risk of forest fires caused by the weather. The evening winds down in the spa gardens with music and conviviality. The SV Lindenfels will provide food and drinks around the community center that evening, including beverages, bratwurst, and a vegan alternative. Spectators who would like to watch the fireworks from the upper castle road are warmly welcome.
