On October 16 786 Lull the founder of Benedictine monastery in Bad Hersfield who passed away. In his name this later created a recurring annual religious festival Lullusfest.

If your able to catch the begging of the festival it's really a sight to see. There's a fairly large parade throughout the town followed with music from the bands and people singing which then leads to the opening of the festival.
