Arnstorf Volksfest

Since 1886: Volksfest Culture in the Rottal-Inn District

The Arnstorf Volksfest looks back on a particularly long history: first organized as an agricultural exhibition in 1886, it already celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2011. This makes it one of the oldest continuously celebrated Volksfests in the Rottal-Inn district — a region that consciously distinguishes itself from the major Volksfest destinations in Bavaria with its mix of agriculture, medium-sized businesses, and Lower Bavarian lifestyle.

Wooden Festival Tent for Around 4,000 Visitors

A hallmark of the festival is its traditional wooden festival tent with space for around 4,000 visitors. The tent is rebuilt year after year — a festival tent that clearly recalls the Volksfests of past generations in its appearance and is therefore a sought-after image for photo reports.

Deym Brewery and Stone Maßkrug

The festival beer is supplied by Brauerei Deym, a private brewery from Arnstorf that brews a special batch for the Volksfest every year. Served in a classic Stein-Maßkrug (stone liter mug), it is one of the unmistakable markers of the Arnstorf Volksfest.

Five-Day Program

• Friday: Festival kickoff with a concert in front of the tent and parade, followed by beer tapping
• Saturday: Show night with a party band, youth evening
• Sunday: Morning pint, family day, rides and showmen in the hustle and bustle
• Monday: Children's afternoon with program and balloon distance competition
• Tuesday: Seniors' afternoon with catering and a relaxed program

Identity That Connects Generations

The Volksfest in Arnstorf is not the largest in the region — the Volksfests in Dingolfing, Eggenfelden, or Pfarrkirchen attract larger crowds. But it is precisely the manageable size that makes the Arnstorf festival special: people know each other here, club evenings are not staged but are genuine club life, a liter of beer still costs what you expect, and the wooden festival tent is a central marker of identity.
