Haager Herbstfest

About Haager Herbstfest

The Haager Herbstfest is the big Upper Bavarian Volksfest to mark the start of autumn: for ten days, the festival tents, Bauer's Cafe & Weinstadl, the Bräustüberl, and Zeillinger's Festzelt open on the festival grounds on Schäfflerstraße. With its motto 'Bavarian, lively, family-friendly,' the Herbstfest brings the region between Wasserburg, Mühldorf, and Erding together every year for clinking beer mugs, complemented by amusement rides, a showman's mile, a family program, and a parade of clubs.

Haager Herbstfest — edition 2026

The 15th Haager Herbstfest runs from September 25 to October 4, 2026 – ten days of festivities on the Schäfflerstraße festival grounds in Haag i.OB. Four festival tents and a showman's street characterize the site; the opening weekend and the parade of clubs are the public highlights.

The organizers of the Haager Herbstfest confirm the dates September 25 to October 4, 2026 via the official website haager-herbstfest.de and the tourism portal Inn-Salzach. This means the festival in 2026 spans two full weekends and fills the classic Upper Bavarian Volksfest space between the Munich Oktoberfest and the Mühldorf Volksfest.

On the grounds, as in previous years, Zeillinger's Festzelt, Bauer's Cafe & Weinstadl, the Bräustüberl, and the showman's street will be set up. Live music is part of the program in every festival tent: local and regional bands, as well as Schlager stars, cover bands, and traditional folk music groups. A detailed daily program will be published on the program page haager-herbstfest.de/programm and promoted via social media channels (Facebook/Instagram) and regional reporting by Mühldorf TV.

The biggest Volksfest in the market town of Haag

The Haager Herbstfest is the Volksfest of the market town of Haag in Upper Bavaria and one of the highlights in the autumn calendar of the Mühldorf am Inn district. On the festival grounds on Schäfflerstraße, several festival tents and a showman's street are available for ten days. In 2026, the festival will run under the name 15th Haager Herbstfest – the self-image 'Bavarian, lively, family-friendly' stands prominently above the entrance.

Four tents, one festival site

The Herbstfest doesn't have a single mega-hall but is spread across several atmospheric festival tents and pavilions:

Zeillinger's Festzelt: the large festival tent with live music and a dance floor
Bauer's Cafe & Weinstadl: cozy café atmosphere, with wine service
Bräustüberl: Bavarian brewery feeling with hearty cuisine
Showman's street with amusement rides, carousels, and game stalls

What makes the Haager Herbstfest special

Compared to Munich's large folk festivals, the Haager Herbstfest has a much more local atmosphere. Many of the hosts and showmen come from the region, the breweries are Upper Bavarian, and the traditional parade on the opening Saturday with traditional costume groups, music bands, and horse-drawn carriages is a real spectacle, not a tourist program. The Inn-Salzach tourism region also counts the Herbstfest among its firm recommendations in September/October.

Market town of Haag i.OB – Location and history

The market town of Haag is located in the Mühldorf am Inn district, south of the A94 between Munich and Mühldorf. Its market rights date back to the Middle Ages. The town is known beyond the region for Haag in Bayern Open Air and Haag Castle – but the Herbstfest is the Volksfest that brings the whole region together every year.

Family program and Volksfest classics

Spread across the ten festival days are classic Volksfest elements: Family Day with reduced prices, Senior Citizens' Afternoon, traditional costume evening, dance floor for revelers, hearty snacks, and the obligatory roast chicken in the beer tent. On the showman's street, the chain carousel, Ferris wheel, dodgems, and children's rides are firmly established.
