Herbstzauber Mitwitz

Herbstzauber is not a trade fair in the conventional sense, but a curated public event with an exhibition format that brings together inspiration, enjoyment and shopping. Once a year in autumn, Mitwitz Water Castle is transformed into an atmospheric experiential setting where garden culture, lifestyle and culinary pleasures come together in a harmonious whole.

The event is organised by ARCOS GmbH, an experienced producer of high-quality garden and lifestyle events held at distinctive historic venues across Germany. The Mitwitz edition of Herbstzauber forms part of this well-established event series while also standing out as a highlight in its own right, with a strong regional focus. Drawing on Franconia’s gardening heritage as well as a shared appreciation of craftsmanship, design and fine food, the event combines regional character with wider appeal.

In terms of content, Herbstzauber centres on seasonal plants, imaginative garden ideas and premium products for homes, balconies and outdoor spaces. Visitors can explore a carefully curated selection of rare plants, perennials, roses, herbs and autumnal planting concepts, alongside stylish decorations, home accessories, fashion, jewellery and handcrafted one-off pieces made from materials such as wood, metal and ceramics. The offer is complemented by culinary specialities ranging from regional delicacies and wines to autumn-inspired gourmet products, creating a well-rounded visitor experience.

Exhibitors primarily represent the fields of horticulture, floristry, landscape design, arts and crafts, design, small-scale manufacturing, fashion and fine food. The audience is equally diverse, encompassing garden enthusiasts, amateur gardeners, design and lifestyle aficionados, food lovers and families seeking inspiration and quality. A supporting cultural and experiential programme featuring art, exhibitions and occasional musical elements further enhances the distinctive character of the event.

Herbstzauber is therefore an annual autumn event that combines exhibition, marketplace and leisure outing. It offers practical inspiration, exclusive products and memorable impressions. Set amid greenery, Mitwitz Water Castle provides a unique and evocative backdrop and is easily accessible by car – a place where history, nature and contemporary lifestyle come together in a particularly compelling way.

The Herbstzauber will take place on 3 days from Friday, 23. October to Sunday, 25. October 2026 in Mitwitz.
