About Grandauer Volksfest

The Grandauer Volksfest — also known as Grafinger Volksfest — is the big spring festival of the town of Grafing near Munich in the Ebersberg district. For eleven days, the festival grounds on Jahnstraße are transformed into a fairground with a large festival tent, a funfair, and a traditional Bavarian program: brass and show music, Schafkopf championship, Bavarian Evening, senior afternoon, children's afternoon, and sporting competitions. In the festival tent, Grandauer Festbier flows, accompanied by delicacies from the Kainz'n-Hof festival kitchen.

When spring picks up speed in Grafing near Munich, the Grandauer Volksfest draws the entire region into its festival tent atmosphere. The traditional festival on the Volksfestplatz on Jahnstraße is a Pentecost, spring, and brewery festival all in one and is a fixed date in the event calendar of the Ebersberg district.

It kicks off with the festive Volksfesteinzug (festival procession) from Grafing's market square, followed by the traditional beer tapping and the first music evening. Over eleven days, a packed program follows: the traditional Grafinger Schafkopf-Meisterschaft (Schafkopf championship), the Bayrischer Abend (Bavarian Evening), a senior afternoon with brass music, a children's afternoon with Punch and Judy shows and reduced ride prices, a stone-lifting championship on Ascension Day, and a boxing evening by DJK Bavaria Rosenheim. In the festival tent, brass and party bands from the region play — from Glonner Musi to the party band 7 Promille.

The festival tent is run by Kainz'n Hof Partyservice with Grandauer Festbier and Bavarian delicacies from their own festival kitchen. A funfair with rides for young and old completes the festival. Table reservations for families and groups are possible via the festival office.
