Fairytale Festival on 1 and 2 August 2026

On the first weekend of August, the Blühendes Barock transforms into a magical world of experiences. This year, the Fairytale Festival revolves around the theme “Fairytale Blossom Magic” — a celebration for children, families, and everyone who loves to explore, play, and marvel.

Along enchanting themed sets, creative hands-on activities invite visitors to explore. The large discovery rally with an explorer’s pass leads through the Fairytale Garden down to the Pumpkin Meadow. The popular search quiz also returns, requiring keen observation. Those who participate actively can look forward to small rewards.

A highlight is the Rapunzel contest at the Emichsburg, organized by age groups.

Admission is included in the regular garden entry ticket. Children up to four years old enter free of charge. Public transport is recommended for visiting.
