The consecration of the local church known as Kirchweih in high German is one one of the more festive days of the year in any given German town, especially small villages. They are largely like mini-Folk Festivals, sometimes featuring rides/games for the kids and local delicacies. Of course, it being Germany, there's always beer on hand.
The Bamberg Countryside Breweries Experience and Brewing Heartland Experience are two great walking tours which take you off the beaten path and out into the beautiful Franconian countryside. You can be sure to drink beers you will never find back home and eat the local delicacies.
