On 05 August it is finally time again. Then the Frankfurt Römerberg turns into a beautiful, large festival site. For four days around the Paulsplatz, Römerberg, Fahrtor and along the banks of the Main with culinary delicacies, live music, rides and a Ferris wheel is celebrated according to centuries-old tradition. The origin of the Mainfest is historically not provable, but is generally fixed on the year 1340.
The old fishermen's festivals are precursors and model of the Mainfest, and therefore the historical Fischerstechen on the Main (on Sunday from 16.00) is also one of the absolute highlights of the festivities. The whole thing is crowned by a grandiose closing fireworks display on Monday evening (from around 22.00), which once again shows off the beauty of Frankfurt's Main embankment to its best advantage. Without a doubt, the Mainfest is worth a visit with the whole family. And the traditionally offered dishes such as "Ochs am Spieß" also ensure that no one has to go home with an empty stomach. So: do not miss!!
