Franconian folk dance group inspires at the Kiliani Volksfest in Würzburg!

What's going in Kitzingen? Last weekend there was a lot going on in the region, not only because of the high summer weather. The Franconian folk dance group Kitzingen (FVTG) was in a celebration mood and was able to look back on an eventful weekend. From the Kiliani Volksfest in Würzburg to the festival of cultures in Kitzingen itself, the group had to master some exciting appearances.

The weekend started on Saturday afternoon with the traditional Kiliani Volksfest parade in Würzburg. Here the FVTG presented its new, large banner and faced an impressive formation with over 100 dancers: inside. The move was not only a feast for the eyes, but also set a strong sign for the region's customs. In the afternoon the next appearance at the festival of cultures in Kitzingen followed, where the FVTG country group even offered a small line dance course. The sounds of "Achy-Breaky-Heart" were then danced together-a successful end of a wonderful day!

Day of Franconia and summer festival

The Sunday was all about the Tags of the Franconia in Haßfurt, where nine couples from the FVTG occurred. This is a loved one that has been around for several years. At 10 a.m. it started with an interview at the Bavarian Radio, where the dancers showed some of their performances in front of the microphone -enveloped audience on the patch. The FVTG couples were the first on stage and were allowed to present five different dances. It was a festival of colors and joy!

After these exciting days, the traditional summer festival is now in the FVTG club garden on July 20. One occasion that many are already looking forward to, because afterwards a little break will be taken before continuing with further events in autumn. If you want to learn more about the FVTG, you can find numerous information and a picture gallery from the last appearances on the website of the group
