Oct 19 2014 Volkach to Etwashausen to Volkach.  We leave the hotel in Volkach and get onto the street and they have set up a market.  There's stalls all over up and down the street.  We are looking at some of the stuff when a marching band come down the street.  After the band passed by we walked  to the squre

We rode from Volkach to Etwashausen, about 27k, to see the parade for the Kirmesfes. It was happening in conjunction with the tree raising the night before.  The video is a few sec of the parade.  

The float had fresh picked veggies on it

The changing of the queens.  The Blonde has to give her tiara to the brunette.  

Parade entrants.  The entrants are clubs dressed  in their traditional dress.  In between the clubs are bands.  These guys might be the brew club.

One of the bands who played in the parade.  After the parade we had some federweissen and sat in the sun.  Then we rode back to Volkach and to the fishfest.  There we sat and had 2 more federweissen each and some snacks while the band played on.  At 1700 the band quit and the fest was over.  We walked back to our hotel thru the throngs of people that were still looking at the stalls.
