Midsummer Night's Festival in Murrhardt-Fornsbach Offers Unique Triathlon and Family-Friendly Activities
The charming town of Murrhardt-Fornsbach in the Rems-Murr district, Germany, is gearing up for its annual Midsummer Night's Festival (Sommernachtsfest) at the Festplatz am Waldsee. This year, the festival runs from Saturday, July 26, to Monday, July 28.
The festival weekend kicked off with a barrel of free beer, laughter, and good weather, setting the tone for a lively and enjoyable event. On Saturday afternoon, the amusement park opened its gates, providing fun-filled entertainment for all ages.
A unique highlight of this year's festival was a wacky triathlon event. Twelve two-person teams competed in an unusual competition that consisted of three disciplines. The first involved navigating a buoy course with flippers, eyes covered, and holding a watermelon. Teams then pulled themselves across the water using a rope and lying on an inflatable turtle. The final discipline was knocking over bottles filled with a stuffed pantyhose on their heads.
Mayor Armin Mößner tapped a 56-liter barrel to mark the official opening of the festival. As the sun set, DJ Pete took to the stage with time-traveling music from the 80s, adding to the festive atmosphere. The evening concluded with a spectacular fireworks display over the lake, illuminating the night sky around 10:30 pm.
On Sunday, the festival offered a family-friendly program. Breakfast, including white sausages, was served at 11 am. Throughout the day, visitors could enjoy music, rides, interactive theater, and culinary delights. The festival weekend will conclude on Monday at 2 pm with a game rally for children.
