Folk Festival Tradition in the Aitrachtal
The Aitrachtaler Volksfest in Mengkofen is a traditional, five-day folk festival (Volksfest) on the Alleewiese at Von-Haniel-Allee 12. It combines a lively marquee atmosphere, customs, and religious tradition in the Lower Bavarian Aitrachtal valley.
From the Herz-Jesu-Fest to the Volksfest
The Volksfest developed in 1975 from the Herz-Jesu-Fest, which is celebrated on the third Sunday after Pentecost with a large procession. To this day, the festival Sunday, with the procession from Weichshofen to the festival tent and the subsequent church service, forms the spiritual heart of the festival.
Five-Day Schedule
The festival Friday begins with a concert and a parade with a beer tapping ceremony. On Saturday, a traditional flea market (Trödlermarkt) takes place. Sunday is dedicated to the Herz-Jesu-Fest with a procession and church service. Monday afternoon is for the senior citizens' afternoon and the day for businesses and clubs, while Tuesday is "Youth Day" with appropriate music and marks the festival's conclusion.

Mengkofen is located in the Dingolfing-Landau district in the Bavarian administrative region of Lower Bavaria, in the Aitrach valley. The Volksfest, with its combination of festival tent, customs, and church festival, is deeply rooted in the community's identity.
