Another attraction is the annual town festival "Alkerslebener Rummel", which takes place every summer. Here you can enjoy local specialities and handmade artwork while listening to the sounds of live music.

Culinary Alkersleben has a lot to offer. Be sure to try the Thuringian Rostbratwurst or the regional beer "Alkerslebener". The traditional potato cake is also a delicacy not to be missed.
