Franconia Day


Franconia Day or Tag der Franken was born in 2006 following a decision by the Bavarian Landtag and has been celebrated annually since then on 2 July or on the weekend immediately following. It is intended to highlight the diverse landscape and history of the Franconian region and to raise awareness of Franconia's potential for development and innovation. The central festive event is held alternately in and by the three Franconian provinces in Bavaria - Upper Franconia, Middle Franconia and Lower Franconia - and has the character of a state festival day.
Its predecessor were the events held since 1999 by the Fränkischer Bund and other organisers.
