Bürgerfest Pfaffenhofen

About Bürgerfest Pfaffenhofen

The Bürgerfest Pfaffenhofen transforms the city center of the Upper Bavarian district town Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm into a festival mile. For three days, Volksfest (traditional folk festival), Dult (fair/market), and open-air concerts blend together: a Ferris wheel and amusement rides on the main square, market areas, live music on several stages, and two large beer gardens at the Haus der Begegnung and Sparkassenplatz. The festival is one of the highlights of the Pfaffenhofen cultural summer.
