Waterwheel Festival in Stadeln: A festive day by the river with heart, music, and community life
On Saturday, May 16, 2026, the Stadeln Waterwheel Festival invites you to the fine farmer's meadows below the Stadeln Cemetery in Fürth-Stadeln. The traditional festival organized by the Stadeln Association cartel starts at 10:30 AM and ends at 5:00 PM. The focus is on community, family programs, early drinks, lively music, and the special ambiance of the historical waterwheel on the Regnitz. Admission is free.

Tradition you can feel
The Waterwheel Festival is a staple of the Stadeln annual cycle and is organized by the Stadeln Association cartel, which has shaped the district with its festivals for decades. The event traditionally takes place on the weekend after Ascension Day and is enriched by the strong community spirit in the area. The historical waterwheel itself is a local landmark and has been in operation again since 1991. ([stadeln.net](https://stadeln.net/ueber-uns/))
Music, enjoyment, and family moments
Food and drink are well taken care of: Frankenradar lists chilled beverages, Franconian sausages, neck steak, Mexican dishes, fish, salmon, sandwiches, and soups. In addition, there will be live music, and festive music with the Franken Mix is announced for 2026. Children will also find plenty of movement and fun. The charm of this festival lies in its blend: down-to-earth, heartfelt, and with true community spirit. ([frankenradar.de](https://www.frankenradar.de/events/stadelner-wasserradfest-fuerth))
Stress-free arrival
There are no parking spaces at the festival grounds. Arriving by bicycle or on foot is considered the best option; alternatively, you can take the bus to the Waldschänke stop on lines 173 or 174. The venue is located on the meadow in front of the waterwheel below the Stadeln cemetery, making it typical for a relaxed open-air experience in nature.
