Zwetschgenfest 2025 in Bühl – A Sweet & Colorful Celebration 🍑

#centraleurope

From September 11 to 15, 2025, the town of Bühl in the northern Schwarzwald transforms into a vibrant, five-day festival ground honoring the “Blaue Königin” – the beloved local plum. What began as a farmers’ harvest celebration has grown into one of Baden-Württemberg’s liveliest folk festivals.

🌍 Festival Highlights:
🎪 A huge fairground in the heart of Bühl: colorful rides, a giant Ferris wheel, street stalls, and food tents lining the pedestrian core.
🍑 Plum-themed treats everywhere – from Zwetschgenkuchen (plum cakes) and jams to plum schnapps, plum tarts, and even savory dishes starring the Bühler Zwetschge.
🎶 Live music on multiple stages: traditional brass bands, Schlager and folk music, as well as evening party nights and a DJ stage in the Weindorf (wine village).
👑 The Zwetschgenkönigin (“Plum Queen”) leading a festive parade through the streets of Bühl on Sunday afternoon, complete with marching bands, float wagons, and local clubs.
🍷 An abundant wine village (“Weindorf”) and open-air food stalls offering regional Baden wines and Black Forest specialties.

💡 Insider Tips for Maximum Fun & Shareable Moments
📅 Visit on Sunday afternoon or evening to catch the Zwetschgenkönigin parade – it’s colorful, full of local tradition, and perfect for video reels or carousel shots.
🍰 Don’t just snap a photo of the Zwetschgenkuchen—taste it, and capture a “plum-sticky finger” moment. It makes for relatable, fun food content.
🎡 Hop on the Ferris wheel at sunset. You’ll get panoramic views of Bühl, the Black Forest hills, and festival lights—golden-hour stories and reels goldmine.
🎶 Mix it up: enjoy a mellow afternoon folk concert, then head to the Weindorf or DJ tent after dark for a party vibe.
🚆 Arrive by train or public transport: Bühl is well-connected, and parking can get tight during peak festival hours.
📸 Share the contrast: daylight shots of artisan stalls and plum-themed crafts, evening shots of live music and glowing lights, plus a final reel of eating a plum tart or sipping plum schnapps.
