Gaubodenvolksfest

About

This former agricultural fair, first held in 1812, has long since grown into Bavaria's second-biggest Volksfest (a traditional festival with fun fair). It has largely kept its unique character as a very local festival (Gäuboden is the region) and its cosy atmosphere, even in today's more fast-paced times. Over 120 stalls and fun fair attractions and 6 excellently equipped marquees with a total of 24,000 seats in extensive, modern grounds offer entertainment and tasty culinary delights. Every year, one of the highlights of the festival is the colourful parade: Around 2000 participants from various local clubs, traditional costume and folk dance groups, accompanied by brass bands, parade through the town together to the Volksfestplatz Am Hagen.
