A festival year with a special background

The Home Days 2026 are marked by several anniversaries: Oberkirch celebrates 700 years of city rights, commemorates the 350th anniversary of the death of the Baroque writer Grimmelshausen, and honors 300 years of distilling rights.

In Oberkirch, it becomes a vibrant cultural project that connects regional identity, social exchange, and Baden hospitality.

Highlights between stage, market, and tradition

The program ranges from concerts, theater evenings, and readings to historical city tours, wine tastings, torch hikes, and culinary experiences. During the Baden-Württemberg Day on May 16 and 17, Oberkirch will become the showcase of the state with a state trade exhibition, distiller lane, farmers' market, arts and crafts market, and SWR stage program. Regional producers, craft businesses, and service providers meet music, enjoyment, and interactive offers for families.

State festival days with a great festive atmosphere

From September 11 to 13, traditions and customs take center stage. The children's and customs day transforms the city center into a meeting point for families. The customs evening in the festival tent will create an energetic festival atmosphere with traditional costumes, music, and dance groups from Baden-Württemberg. The grand state festival parade featuring costume groups, music bands, historical citizen militias, clubs, and the Oberkirch districts will be one of the most impressive highlights of the year.
