Annentag in Brakel

The largest inner-city funfair in the entire Weserbergland!

Showmen and hawkers transform the old town into a colorful, shimmering bazaar overflowing with joy. On Sundays, a solemn procession commemorates the religious origins of the festival: the veneration of St. Anne in the baroque chapel at the gates of the city. Many hundreds of believers escort the Blessed Sacrament. On Monday, deals are still concluded with a handshake at the cattle and produce market in keeping with tradition. A magnificent firework display on Monday evening brings Annentag to a close.
