Volksfest atmosphere on the Danube riverbank
The Günzburg Volksfest is one of the best-known and most popular Volksfests in Southern Germany. Organized by the city of Günzburg, it takes place annually in August on the festival grounds on the Danube riverbank, in the Swabian city of Günzburg in the district of the same name in the state of Bavaria.
Festival Tent and Hahnzelt
The centerpiece is the large festival tent. The Hahnzelt stands for experiential gastronomy, combining traditional festival cuisine with contemporary accents. Bavarian delicacies, freshly tapped beer, and classic chicken dishes are served, accompanied by daily live music from regional brass bands and party bands. Beer and chicken are available at reduced pre-festival prices several weeks before the festival begins.
