Summer Festival in the Berchtesgadener Land
The Ainringer Dorffest is held every year by the Ainring village community. It is the joint summer festival of the local associations — from the music club, the fire department, and the traditional costume association to the sports club. The venue is the village square in the center of the town on Salzburger Straße, one of the most beautiful spots in the Rupertiwinkel.
Program Schedule
The day begins with the setup and decoration by the associations. The festival officially opens in the late afternoon. First, the youth groups of the associations perform on stage — from the traditional costume youth to the young brass band. In the evening, the Musikkapelle Ainring takes over and plays traditional Bavarian brass music. Food and drinks are served continuously, including beer, snacks, grilled fish, grilled specialties, as well as coffee and cake.
Children's Fun Run
A fixed part of the festival is the Kinderdorflauf (children's fun run). Children from the village and surrounding areas run through the village over several age-related routes — start and finish at the village square, award ceremony afterward at the Ski Club house. The event is supported by the local sports associations.
Ainring — Fairtrade Community in the Rupertiwinkel
Ainring is located in the district of Berchtesgadener Land (Bavaria), directly on the border with Austria and only a few kilometers from Salzburg. The municipality officially calls itself a Fairtrade-Gemeinde (Fairtrade community) and is known for its open-air stage, recreational area, and proximity to Watzmann, Untersberg, and Salzach. The village festival is an expression of a vibrant club life that shapes the identity of the place.
Organizers and Character
The organizer is the Dorfgemeinschaft Ainring — an association of all local clubs. It is an authentic village festival with free admission, moderate prices, family-friendly, and attractive for visitors from Salzburg, Freilassing, and the entire Rupertiwinkel.
