Spring Wiesn on the Outskirts of Salzburg
The Freilassinger Maiwiesn is one of the largest spring festivals in southeastern Bavaria. When the festival tents are set up at the festival grounds by the train station in mid-May, visitors come from the entire Berchtesgadener Land district, the Salzburg basin, and the adjacent Bavarian districts to experience the ten-day Wiesn.
The Maiwiesn in Detail
The festival tent of the Hanetzog festival family, with several hundred seats, is the heart of the Wiesn. Beer is served by the Schönramer brewery from the Upper Bavarian Rupertiwinkel – a private brewery that has been brewing in Petting near Waging am See since 1780 and is known far beyond the region for its beer specialties. In addition, amusement operators offer rides, shooting galleries, and candy stalls for families and young people.
Themed Days
Each festival day has its own theme: Neighborhood Day, Father's Day (particularly popular), Senior and Business Day with special discounts, Club Day with the participation of Freilassing clubs, and Festival Sunday. Additionally, on Fridays and Saturdays, after-Wiesn parties take place, running until 2 AM and attracting a young audience with DJ sets and live bands like »Backdraft«.
Freilassing – Border Town with Flair
Freilassing is a town of 17,000 inhabitants in the Berchtesgadener Land district of Upper Bavaria, directly on the Saalach River opposite Salzburg, Austria. The town is a railway hub between Munich and Salzburg and one of the most important border crossings to Austria. This geographical location is also reflected in the festival audience: Bavarians and Austrians mingle at the Maiwiesn to form a uniquely cross-regional festival crowd.
