Plan your trip to Frankfurt this August because it promises to be a fun-filled time in Frankfurt with the Main Festival and the Apple Wine festival both being held this month. The Main Festival will commence on the Friday, August 4 with live music at the Römerberg and the Fountain of Justice will be transformed into a wine fountain for the occasion! This is a traditional folk festival with the splendid closing fireworks display being one of the highlights. The Apple Wine Festival, on the other hand, will extend from August 11 to 20. Every year, locals and visitors come together in the Main metropolis to celebrate Frankfurt’s most popular beverage with their very own Apple Wine Festival, which is traditionally accompanied by a highly entertaining stage programme. Typical Frankfurt folklore and dialect poetry provide old-school entertainment for both the young and young at heart, while nearby Hessian cult bands get their audiences singing and dancing. Relaxed lounge music is also on offer, providing the perfect atmospheric background. Festival visitors will also find an excellent selection of apple wine merchandise on sale at the Roßmarkt, where the event is held. Those of you interested in taking back your very own apple wine “utensils” will find everything you need – from the typical ribbed apple wine glass to glass covers and, of course, the famous “bembel”, the blue-grey earthenware jug from which apple wine is traditionally served.
