Lower Bavarian Volksfest Tradition

The Ergolding Volksfest is one of the most popular spring Volksfeste in the district of Landshut. It takes place every year in May on the festival grounds of the market town of Ergolding and combines the typical elements of a Bavarian Volksfest: a large festival tent, an amusement park with rides and showmen, and a varied supporting program for all generations.

Festival Tent and Beer Service

The Heppenheimer family of hosts ensures culinary delights in the festival tent, and the beer is served by the Hohenthann Castle Brewery. In the evenings, brass bands and party bands perform, while during the day, stationary concerts and club performances shape the program. Table reservations in the beer tent are possible.

Beer Tapping and Program

The traditional highlight is the beer tapping ceremony by the First Mayor during the Day of Clubs, Authorities, and Businesses. On the family days, reduced prices apply to rides, stalls, and in the festival tent. The multi-day program runs from Wednesday to Sunday and offers something for everyone, from stilt walkers to music evenings.
