Amberger Bergfest

The Amberger Bergfest 2025 was attended by a large number of pilgrims, as every year. For nine days, guests from the entire Upper Palatinate and beyond flocked to the Mariahilfberg. Despite rising beer prices – which the local press (Onetz) reported on – the festival retained its traditional character: pilgrimage in the morning, "Brotzeit" (snack/meal) at noon, and a cozy get-together in the brewery tents in the afternoon.

In 2025, a vegan bratwurst option was also offered at the festival for the first time – a small innovation in an event otherwise characterized by tradition. The eight festival tents of the Amberg breweries were fully occupied on weekends and on the Patron Saint's Day.
