Everyday from 11am
Six years ago, the Apfelweinfest was launched, which has quickly established itself as a permanent fixture in Frankfurt's cultural calendar and will once again attract up to 120,000 visitors to the new location at the Hauptwache as the Apfelweinfestival. The concept of the first festival has also remained true to the small anniversary and 90% of the stand operators, who were already present four years ago, are also part of the party in 2016. More than 20 different press houses will offer many different types of cider, so that even those visitors who can't get used to the traditional cider taste can find the right drop for them.
In addition to the traditional Schoppen and trendy mixed drinks or cocktails, there will also be original cider merchandise and of course many delicious foods around the topic of apples and cider. Apple cider sausage, apple cider ham, baguettes topped with apple cider cheese or apple cider ice cream are just some of the culinary highlights.
But there is not only something for the palate. There is also a comprehensive entertainment programme. DJs, dialect groups or comedians will be on stage every evening. In addition, there will be some award ceremonies, such as the Golden Apple (17.08.), endowed with 1000,- € which will be awarded to people who have been particularly committed to the protection of meadow orchards. The entertainment programme includes Keith Sanders, Hessen bard Gottfried Lehr, Schilling Live and GERRY and the Cavemen. On 16.08. the Kelterei Heil presents a colourful evening with Bäppi La Belle.
So the crowning of the Frankfurt Apple Wine Queen, the many culinary offers and much more makes a visit to the Hauptwache, where traditional apple wine enjoyment combines with the modern skyline to a very special atmosphere, an absolute must! A beautiful tribute to cider and to the cider city of Frankfurt am Main, this is a festival for the whole family that is positively received by Frankfurt residents and tourists alike.
