Four days of festive atmosphere with music, wine village and family program
Griesheim will once again celebrate its traditional Onion Market September 26th to 29th, 2025. For the 48th time, the town center between the market square and the carriage house will be transformed into a vibrant festival area. Visitors can look forward to a diverse program with live music, a wine village, culinary offerings, and attractions for the whole family.
The festivities kick off on Friday evening with the traditional tapping of the first keg by Mayor Geza Krebs-Wetzl in the carriage house. This year, the carriage house is being run by TuS Griesheim and is the centerpiece of the supporting program. Even the youngest guests won't be left out: carousels and interactive activities will keep them entertained. Theatergoers can look forward to the play "Mummel and the Talent Distributor" on the TuS Onion Stage in the town hall.
A regular feature of the festival weekend is the guided walk through the town's district on Saturday, followed by breakfast and lunch in the carriage house. Art enthusiasts are invited to the art exhibition presented by the cultural association at the Georg-August-Zinn-Haus , where works on the theme of "weather" will be on display and an audience award will be presented.
