Every year, it is traditionally said on the last weekend before the summer holidays: welcome to the Langenau Children's Festival. Today, the Children's Festival takes place annually on the last weekend before the summer holidays, and the festival grounds "Auf der Reutte" have established themselves as a new traditional venue. The grand parade of the schools is an absolute highlight of the Children's Festival, leading up to the festival grounds. On Saturday and Sunday, both young and old can celebrate together. Clubs, schools, and the cultural office jointly organize the event, bringing many small and large people joyful hours year after year. The festivities begin on Friday, July 24, with a ceremonial reception. This takes place as the kickoff to the festival weekend at 7:00 PM in the Pfleghof as an open-air event. In case of rain, the celebration will be moved to the Pfleghofhalle. On Saturday, July 25, the actual Children's Festival begins with the school parade at 1:30 PM on Freistegstraße, which winds through the town to the festival grounds on the Reutte. On Sunday, July 26, the celebration continues there from 11:00 AM.
History of the Children's Festival: Each year, under a new motto, the Children's Festival traces back to the centuries-old tradition of the school dance and delights both young and old alike. First mentioned in the protocol of the church visitation in 1535, the "school dance" always took place on the Wednesday before Pentecost. On the morning of the festival day, the children gathered in front of the schoolhouse by the Ach and marched to the church with music. After the festive church service, the children, holding decorated birch trees known as "Maien," proceeded to the festival grounds in the castle courtyard. In the shade of the linden trees, the children then performed their dances. The adults also took the opportunity to dance. Guests from the surrounding villages were also warmly welcomed. The community held onto the traditional day and festival grounds until the 19th century.
