 Selchenbach holds its kermis (church consecration festival, locally known as the "Kerwe") on the second weekend in September.At this festival, the village youth decorate a “bouquet” (actually a tree), hold a “bouquet speech” in which the year's events are summarized and then dance the "Drei Erschde".Formerly, guild balls were held at Shrovetide (Fastnacht), but this has now been reduced to a children's masquerade ball.
