 The most important festival in Gumbsweiler is held to be the kermis (also locally known as the "Kerb"), which is held on the fourth Sunday in August and lasts three days.The kermis is the time of the "Straußbuwe" and "Straußmäd" ("bouquet lads" and "bouquet lasses"; these two words are dialectal), who spend weeks beforehand binding the "bouquet" together.A parade opens this village festival, led by a band, itself followed by the "Straußbuben" (standard High German for "Straußbuwe") bearing the huge "Strauß" ("bouquet").
