For four days, from Ascension Day (Thursday) to Sunday, the sports hall and the main street are transformed into a festival ground with market stalls, a festival tent, an amusement park, and a vintage car meet.

Two Traditions, One Festival

The Bergmarktfest Pilgramsberg is the fusion of two traditional events that were previously celebrated separately: the Exaudimarkt – a historic market day with pavilion stalls along the main street – and the Bergfest, a classic Lower Bavarian Volksfest (folk festival) with a festival tent and rides. The combination makes the Pilgramsberg May weekend one of the most diverse folk festivals in the Straubing-Bogen district.

Four Festival Days from Ascension Day to Sunday

The festival traditionally begins on Ascension Day (Thursday) at 9 a.m. with a vintage car meet – historic vehicles from the region gather at the festival grounds, providing a festive start. On Friday and Saturday evenings, live bands dominate the festival tent; in 2026, the regional band Bergbeben was announced for Friday (May 15th) as part of a rock night. Sunday starts with the traditional Frühshoppen (morning pint), followed by a flea market and Children's Day with reduced prices on rides.

Pilgramsberg and Rattiszell

Pilgramsberg is a district of Rattiszell, a municipality in the Lower Bavarian foothills of the Bavarian Forest, southeast of Bogen. The village is located on a hill with a wide view of the Bavarian Forest – the namesake for the Bergfest. Despite its size (Rattiszell has around 1,500 inhabitants), the Bergmarktfest attracts visitors from the entire Straubing-Bogen district and the neighboring districts of Regen and Cham.

SV Pilgramsberg as Organizer

The main organizer is the sports club SV Pilgramsberg, which has been organizing the festival for decades. Andreas Aich from Hauptstraße 18 is the main contact person. Food trucks, market stalls under pavilions, and a traditional Maibaum (Maypole) shape the atmosphere against the festive backdrop of the sports hall and the main street.
