Friedewalder Gartenfest Friedewald

The Friedewald Garden Festival is a garden and lifestyle fair that has been held annually since 2011 on the historic grounds of the Friedewald moated castle ruins.

Nestled in the idyllic river landscape of the Westerwald region in Rhineland-Palatinate, the event offers a unique experience for garden enthusiasts, nature lovers, and families who value quality, ambiance, and fresh inspiration.

The event is organized by ARCOS Gesellschaft für Messen und Marketing mbH, an experienced company specializing in garden and outdoor events. The aim of the Friedewalder Gartenfest is to make stylish outdoor living in harmony with nature-inspired garden culture both tangible and enjoyable. The fair serves as a source of inspiration for anyone looking to design their outdoor spaces creatively, sustainably, and with a strong sense of aesthetics.

The event’s concept encompasses a variety of thematic areas: an extensive plant market, handcrafted garden accessories, regional delicacies, functional design solutions, and products for eco-friendly garden care. Visitors have the opportunity not only to shop but also to discover new ideas and gather inspiration – all in line with the event’s guiding principle.

Exhibitors represent sectors such as horticulture, landscape architecture, craftsmanship, design, gourmet foods, and sustainable product development.

The offering is further enriched by a diverse supporting program featuring live music, artistic performances, expert talks, and interactive activities for children – creating a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere for all age groups.

Today, the Friedewald Garden Festival is a firmly established part of the region’s cultural landscape and highlights Friedewald’s role as a prime venue for high-quality outdoor events. The 13th-century moated castle ruins provide not only a dramatic backdrop but also lend the fair its distinctive charm. With convenient access by road and bicycle paths, the venue is easy to reach – located within the nature park, near the outdoor swimming pool and the Friedewald local history museum.

For those in search of the extraordinary, this is the place – inspiring, delightful, and full of memorable experiences.

The Friedewalder Gartenfest will take place on 3 days from Friday, 11. July to Sunday, 13. July 2025 in Friedewald.
