History
Thanksgiving Parade
 |
The history of this parade dates back to the years 1815-1817. Many areas of mittelfranken were famine stricken due to persistent crop failure, natural disasters, and the Napoleonic War. The frost period brought also heavy storms in 1815, ruining the potential harvest from the fruit fields. The farmer’s efforts were futile. |

In the summer of 1817, like a miracle, through the few seeds that were left, an abundant crop allowed the citizens of Fürth to exhale after many years of endured suffering. This called for a celebration. Similar to the American Thanksgiving feast, people wore their best clothing, and enjoyed a great feast on wonderfully decorated tables a long awaited harvest. This tradition lives on today at the Michaelis-Kirchweih. |
