Inspired by a St. Anna’s Day pilgrimage procession dating to 1516, this raucous, colorful folk festival has been held each July since 1840 in Forchheim’s Kellerwald (“cellar woods”). Several local breweries pour special fest beer directly from the mountainside caves’ biergartens at Annafest, many of which feature live, crowd-pleasing party bands. A fun, frenetic mix of old and new Franconian culture, this massive woodland extravaganza draws up to 500,000 revelers every summer despite being well off the international tourist grid.
