What makes the São João festival special?

The festival is a unique combination of local Odenwald tradition and southern European temperament. Thanks to the deep friendship with our partner town Santo Tirso and the large Portuguese community in Groß-Umstadt, we celebrate the classic Johannisfest as a traditional Portuguese São João festival. Look forward to a fantastic mix of Rancho Folclórico, midsummer bonfire and the famous Marcha (parade).
