About Frautag Jetzendorf

The Frautag in Jetzendorf is one of the largest and oldest one-day markets in Bavaria. For over 300 years, thousands of visitors have flocked to the Upper Bavarian village in the Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm district on the High Feast of the Assumption of Mary – August 15th. Over 180 stallholders line more than a kilometer through the village center, complemented by amusement rides for children, a night flea market on the eve, and a festive evening at the Maypole party zone. The Frautag originally dates back to a pilgrimage on the Feast of Mary and has developed over the centuries into a magnet for the entire Upper Bavaria region.

Over 300 Years of Marian Tradition

The Frautag in Jetzendorf dates back to a pilgrimage to the High Feast of the Assumption of Mary. For over 300 years, August 15th has been celebrated in the Upper Bavarian municipality in the Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm district. Over the centuries, the originally religious pilgrimage has become one of the largest one-day markets in Bavaria – the Catholic tradition of the Assumption of Mary, as a public holiday in the predominantly Catholic districts of Bavaria, is the reason why the festival is so massively attended in the middle of the week.

180 Stallholders Along One Kilometer

On Frautag itself, over 180 stallholders offer their goods along the main street and adjacent village roads. The market mile stretches for more than a kilometer through the village center. The market opens at 8:00 AM and officially runs until 6:00 PM. The assortment ranges from classic market necessities to household goods, clothing, tools, sweets, cheese, sausage, and regional specialties.

Children's Park and Festival Activities

A dedicated children's amusement park with a carousel, swing boats, and a shooting gallery complements the market. Food and drinks are available all day. After the market closes at 6:00 PM, the festival moves to the party zone at the Maypole, where the festive day concludes in a convivial atmosphere.

Night Flea Market on the Eve

Already on the eve (usually August 14th), the traditional Jetzendorf Night Flea Market starts in the late afternoon with festival and program activities. This is an additional reason that effectively makes Frautag a two-day major event.

Traffic and Logistics

Several village roads are traditionally closed for Frautag, including sections of district roads PAF7 and PAF3. Diversions will be signposted, and parking bans will be in effect within the village. Due to the expected visitor numbers, travel by bus or train from Pfaffenhofen is recommended.
