Marlenheim - Friend Fritz's Wedding

This annual festival celebrates the wedding of Fritz Kobus and Suzel (two characters in Erckmann and Chatrian works). This mid-August event includes re-enactments of the wedding scene by actors and visitors. A huge party on the eve of "wedding" gives way to a large procession, ceremony and banquet with more song, dance and plenty of Alsacian food. A country fair, crafts demonstrations and stalls are organized concurrently with the festival.
