Heat and rain: Pforzheim defies the elements at the folk festival!
Pforzheim experienced a special kind of folk festival last weekend. Despite extremely high temperatures of up to 32 degrees Celsius and a severe weather warning, many visitors did not miss the festival. How Pforzheim news reported that the weather conditions were not particularly inviting, but there were still some diehards on the exhibition grounds.
The “Pforzemer Mess”, which opened its doors on June 13, 2025, offers a wide range of attractions. In addition to rides for adrenaline-loving visitors, culinary delicacies and a grocery market are also part of the program. Over 69 stands are represented at the festival, offering everything from the traditional ghost train to the modern chain carousel, like the Latest Baden news add.
A stroll under special conditions
The high temperatures not only posed a challenge for the visitors. The stand operators also had to make an effort to offer the guests a pleasant experience. The heat also led to longer waiting times for popular rides such as the new, 65 meter high “Infinity”. Despite these circumstances, children and young people in particular enjoyed the attractions. So they didn't let themselves be deterred by the children's carousel with prices starting at around 5 euros per ride.
A special highlight of the Pforzemer Mess is the environmentally friendly “cold fireworks” that have been announced for next Friday. This promises not only a visual but also an acoustic pleasure, reducing noise and smoke.
