A democratic festival held from 27 to 30 May 1832 at Hambach Castle near Neustadt an der Weinstraße, demanding civil liberties and national unity.
The festival was organized as a 'fair' to bypass bans on demonstrations. Speeches criticized the division of Germany into thirty-eight states and the lack of national union. The event confirmed black, red, and gold as symbols of the democratic movement, though it produced no immediate political results.
