Worms Backfischfest Parade

Get ready to reel in a spectacular time at the Worms Backfischfest Parade, the crowning jewel of the largest wine and folk festival along the Rhine. As the whole Nibelungen city goes into a joyful nine-day state of emergency, the grand Festumzug takes center stage on the first Sunday of the celebration. Spectators can expect a fabulous procession filled with colorful floats, lively marching bands, traditional guild members, and plenty of local pride winding its way through the historic streets of Worms straight to the Kisselswiese festival grounds. It is the perfect excuse to gather with friends and family, wave at the passing floats, and then head over to the Wonnegauer Weinkeller for a well-deserved glass of regional wine and a bite of deliciously fried fish. Grab your spot along the route early and dive into a centuries-old tradition that never fails to make a splash!
