Backfischfest Worms

Every year at the end of August, Worms is in a state of emergency for nine days. Then the Backfischfest, the largest wine and folk festival on the Rhine, has the people of Worms and several thousand visitors from near and far under its control. At the heart of the traditional festival is the Worms Fisherman's Guild - one of the oldest guilds in Germany (founded in 1106).
