The Region's Spring Volksfest (Folk Festival)
The Burghauser Mai-Wiesn is considered "the region's favorite Volksfest (folk festival)" and is the major spring Volksfest (folk festival) of the Altötting district. In 2026, the 56th edition will be celebrated – ten days of Bavarian festival culture with food, rides, and a lively atmosphere.
Festival Tent and Rides
On the festival grounds, visitors can expect a large festival tent with brass band music and party bands, a beer garden, and numerous traditional festival delicacies. Among the rides, the Ferris wheel stands out, along with other thrilling attractions for young and old. The organizers emphasize the sense of community: old and new friends meet to celebrate together.
Seniors' Afternoon, Drawing Competition, and Fireworks
The supporting program offers fixed highlights: a seniors' afternoon for the older generation, a drawing competition for children, and fireworks that crown the Mai-Wiesn. Thus, the festival consciously appeals to all generations.
Burghausen on the Salzach
Burghausen in the Altötting district is located on the Salzach river, right on the border with Austria. The town is world-famous for its castle – at over 1,000 meters, it is the longest castle complex in the world. Against this unique backdrop, the Mai-Wiesn is a social highlight in spring, attracting visitors from the Inn-Salzach region and neighboring Upper Austria.
