175 Years of Brucker Volksfest – Since 1851

The Brucker Volksfest in Fürstenfeldbruck – or Bruck for short – celebrates its 175th edition in 2026. The tradition dates back to 1851, making it one of the oldest city festivals in Upper Bavaria. Since 2015, it has been moved from summer to spring and is now considered a Spring Festival – the largest Volksfest in Munich's west.

Ten Festival Days at Volksfestplatz Marthabräustraße

From Friday, April 24 to Sunday, May 3, 2026, the Volksfestplatz on Marthabräustraße will transform into a festival mile. The large festival tent of host Jochen Mörz (Mörz Festzeltbetriebs GmbH) is the heart of the Volksfest, featuring a daily changing music program with Bavarian bands and cultural performances. König Ludwig Brewery supplies the festival beer. In addition, there are amusement rides – from the Ferris wheel to the roller coaster – classic family carousels, shooting galleries, snack stands, and candy stalls.

Culinary Delights with Bavarian Classics

The festival kitchen and stalls offer the full spectrum of Bavarian festival cuisine: Hendl (roast chicken), Leberkas (meatloaf), Brezn (pretzels), Schweinshaxn (pork knuckle), Steckerlfisch (grilled fish on a stick), Weißwürste (white sausages), Brotzeit (snack platters), and sweet specialties like Lebkuchenherzen (gingerbread hearts), gebrannte Mandeln (candied almonds), and Magenbrot (stomach bread). The festival tent's beer comes from König Ludwig – one of the traditional Upper Bavarian breweries from Kaltenberg.
