Annual New Bremen Firemen’s Picnic
July 22-23, 2022
The annual New Bremen Firemen’s Picnic is the longest-running picnic in Auglaize County. It began in 1921 and is held every year on the fourth Saturday of July. This year’s event will be held on July 23rd. Village residents and area community members alike come together at the Crown Pavilion in New Bremen to enjoy a festive day of fun and food. We invite you and your family to join us as we have activities, food, fun and so much more for all ages.
Last year, during our 100th Celebration the community support that everyone gave to the department was amazing and we can’t thank you enough for sharing in our celebration. The annual Fireman’s Picnic this year will return to our normal Firemen’s Memorial 5K on Friday night with all of our activities beginning at noon on Saturday. We have a great lineup for the entire family scheduled on Saturday including our Kids Waterball, live music, demonstrations, and more. We hope that you will join us for the 5K, Fun Run, and Gear Challenge on Friday, July 22nd, and all the Picnic festivities on Saturday, July 23rd to help us celebrate the 101st Annual Firemen’s Picnic.
If you have any additional questions, please email us.
