Annual village festival in the Brandis district of Falkenberg/Elster
Brandis is a district of the town of Falkenberg/Elster in the southern Elbe-Elster district — nestled in the hilly landscape between the Schwarze Elster and the Niederlausitz lowlands. With a few hundred inhabitants, Brandis is a classic Brandenburg village — and its annual festival tradition is an important element of village life. On Saturday, August 1, 2026 (until Sunday, August 2), the district invites you to the Dorffest (village festival).
As with most Brandenburg village festivals, the program is typically a mix of stage with live music or DJ, club stands (fire department, sports club, heritage club), family program with bouncy castle and face painting, catering by clubs, and a convivial end to the evening. The event is firmly listed on the official event calendar of the town of Falkenberg/Elster — an indication of its integration into town life.
The town of Falkenberg/Elster, with its nine districts — Falkenberg/Elster (town center), Beyern, Brandis, Großrössen, Kölsa, Rehfeld, Sachau-Drasdo, Schmerkendorf, and Uebigau — is a typical Brandenburg "large municipality" where each district preserves its own identity. The annual village festival in Brandis is one of several festivals that take place in the districts throughout the year — alongside the beach festival at Kiebitzsee in the main town or the station festival. A great opportunity to get to know rural Brandenburg beyond the big city festivals.
The Elbe-Elster district is located in southwestern Brandenburg, on the border with Saxony-Anhalt and Saxony. With Herzberg (Elster), Bad Liebenwerda, Finsterwalde, Elsterwerda, and Falkenberg/Elster as the main towns, the region is one of the quietest and most rural in Brandenburg — ideal for those who want to experience rural Brandenburg in its authentic form. The Brandis village festival is a typical example of the vibrant club culture that supports social life in these villages.
The Dorffest Brandis 2026 will be held from August 1 to 2 (Saturday and Sunday) in the Brandis district of Falkenberg/Elster (Elbe-Elster district). The event is organized by the district together with local clubs.
