Every year at Pentecost, visitors and locals alike enjoy Erlangen's regional beer. This is the time of year when Germany's most beautiful and oldest folk festival takes place. The twelve-day Erlangen Bergkirchweih (Erlangen Bergkirchweih) draws around one million visitors and transforms the castle hill into a colorful island.
