Freising Celebrates
The Freisinger Altstadtfest is the social summer highlight of the Upper Bavarian cathedral city of Freising. For a weekend, the historic old town around Marienplatz and the Ober- und Untere Hauptstraße transforms into the city's "largest beer garden," a shopping promenade, and a party zone all at once.
Rock Night as Kick-off
The Rock Night, an open-air concert evening on Marienplatz, marks the beginning. With live bands under the open sky, the festival weekend starts atmospherically into the night and draws a large, celebratory crowd into the city center.
City Festival with Music and Enjoyment
On the festival day itself, music stages fill the old town, numerous gastronomic stands offer food and drinks, and a children's program ensures that even the youngest visitors get their money's worth. The festival is organized by the City of Freising together with the municipal sports association. Last drink service is at 11:30 PM, glasses are accepted back until 12:30 AM.
Freising in the Freising District
The cathedral city of Freising, with its Domberg (cathedral hill) and the world's oldest still-operating brewery (Weihenstephan), is located in the Upper Bavarian district of Freising, north of Munich. The Altstadtfest turns the historic city center into a stage for a weekend and underscores the region's vibrant festival culture.
