About Fischfest Concordia

The Fischfest Bessenbach is a beloved club festival in the Lower Franconian municipality of Bessenbach (Aschaffenburg district). Since 1994, the Concordia Straßbessenbach singing club has invited visitors every year on the Sunday after Pentecost to the Bessenbachhalle: grilled and fried fish is served in a relaxed beer garden atmosphere, accompanied by Franconian beer, wine, and an open-air Frühschoppen (morning pint). A club classic that attracts visitors far beyond the municipal borders.

A Club Festival with History

What began in 1994 as a small idea by the Concordia Straßbessenbach singing club is now a firm fixture in the festival calendar of Bavarian Lower Main: the Fischfest at the Bessenbachhalle. It traditionally takes place on the Sunday after Pentecost — a date that has hardly changed for three decades.

What Makes it Charming

  • Fresh fish prepared in several ways — grilled, fried, smoked
  • Beer garden atmosphere around the Bessenbachhalle
  • Franconian beer and wine
  • Live performances by the Concordia men's choir and friendly clubs
  • Sunday Frühschoppen with brass music
  • Family-friendly atmosphere, many returning regulars

Bessenbach and the Spessart

Bessenbach is located in the Aschaffenburg district on the western edge of the Spessart. The municipality comprises several districts, including Straßbessenbach, where the Concordia singing club is based. The Bessenbachhalle serves not only as a stage for the Fischfest but also as a meeting point for numerous club events — from men's choir concerts to open-air Frühschoppen organized by SV Eintracht.

A Club That Sings and Celebrates

In addition to the men's choir and the preservation of Franconian song tradition, the Concordia Straßbessenbach singing club also cultivates social club life. The Fischfest is its most important public event of the year — and at the same time an important source of income for the choir's work.

Fischfest Concordia — edition 2026

The Fischfest Bessenbach 2026 will take place on Sunday, May 31, 2026, starting at 10:00 AM at the Bessenbachhalle in Straßbessenbach. The date follows the tradition maintained since 1994: the Sunday after Pentecost (Pentecost Sunday 2026 = May 24). The organizer is the Concordia Straßbessenbach singing club e.V., offering fish in several preparations, Franconian beer, and wine in a beer garden atmosphere.

The 2026 edition of the Fischfest seamlessly continues the tradition from 1994. The Concordia Straßbessenbach singing club invites you on Sunday, May 31, 2026, starting at 10:00 AM at the Bessenbachhalle. The program includes: Frühschoppen with brass music, continuous fish sales, Franconian specialties, and a convivial afternoon in a beer garden atmosphere.

In 2026, the Concordia men's choir will also contribute performances in the afternoon, supplemented by friendly singing and music clubs from the Bessenbachtal valley and surrounding areas.
