Carp is a very important food, but only in the months with an "r" (September, October, November, December, January, February, March, April). There are various carp dishes: e.g., "blue carp", "baked carp" and "pepper carp". Carp eaten there is termed "Aischgründer Karpfen".
There is an events centre (converted from a former shoe factory) that includes a music school and a library; there is an evening event most days.
The sports club HK Zubr Höchstadt Aisch won the German Bandy Championship in its first season, 2014/15.
