The district of Höchst has hosted the famous Schlossfest ('Castle Festival') since 1957. The festival is an extravaganza of music, theatre, comedy, art and sport, with the highlights being the street parade, the old town festival (Altstadtfest) and the riverside celebrations (Kirmes am Mainufer). A huge firework display on the final evening sees the festival finish with a bang. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Night of the clubs |
Katharinenkirche Frankfurt, HES Germany +49 69 155 2000 http://www.nacht-der-clubs.de |
Once a year clubbers can hit Frankfurt's clubs without having to worry about nasty doormen and extortionate entrance fees. A ticket to the Nacht der Clubs (Night of the Clubs) entitles visitors to admission at about 30 of Frankfurts top nightclubs. Free shuttle buses run regularly between all the clubs, meaning that party-goers are free to leave their car at home and drink the bar dry. Some 30,000 visitors a year take advantage of this special offer, which is no surprise bearing in mind the variety of participating clubs, which range from techno palaces to jazz cellars, from opulent ballrooms to dingy heavy metal dives. Ticket-holders are entitled to reduced admission to the Musikmesse trade fair which takes place over the same weekend. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Cabaret and comedy |
Emmerich-Josef-Straße 46a Höchst Frankfurt, HES 65929 Germany +49 69 3399990 http://www.neues-theater.de/ |
After the decline of variety theater in the fifties, the Neues Theater Hochst is now the second oldest variety theater in Germany, even though it was only opened in 1987. One of the most important cabaret venues in the country, celebrated German cabaret stars, comedians and international acts such as Nickelodeon and Les Bubb make frequent appearances. Particular emphasis is placed on promoting new talent, and the Neues Theatre has been the springboard for many a comedian's career. The theater attracts visitors from all over the city, not least because of the competitive ticket prices. There are regular puppet shows for children as well as readings and art exhibitions. Admission: EUR 12.50-15 Review © 2007, Wcities |
