Volksfest on the Outskirts of Munich
The Haarer Volksfest is the young, friendly summer festival of the municipality of Haar in the district of Munich (Bavaria). On the circus meadow at the intersection of the B 304 and Ludwig-van-Beethoven-Straße, a classic Bavarian Volksfest ensemble is set up with a festival tent, showmen, and a parade. With around 1,400 seats, the tent is family-sized – a deliberate contrast to the Munich Oktoberfest (Wiesn) and a meeting point for residents from Haar, Vaterstetten, Putzbrunn, and Munich's eastern districts.
Festival Tent, Wildbräu, and Live Music
The festival tent is operated by Robert Schmidt of Schmidt Festzeltbetrieb from Straubing in Lower Bavaria. Wildbräu from Grafing is served, and the tent kitchen offers Bavarian classics such as roast chicken, pork roast, pork shoulder, and vegetarian alternatives. On stage, musical bands from the region alternate with Oktoberfest and cover bands.
Parade, Showmen, and Family Program
The highlight is the parade on Sunday, which leads from St. Konrad Church to the festival tent. Clubs, traditional costume groups, and music bands march through Haar, accompanied by the municipal leadership. On the festival grounds, bumper cars, chain swings, children's rides, a shooting gallery, a lottery stall, and candy stands create a classic Volksfest atmosphere. Special family and senior afternoons with reduced prices complete the program.
SOMMA in der Stadt
The Volksfest seamlessly transitions into »SOMMA in der Stadt« – a summer cultural and event week that brings concerts, art, and an artists' mile into Haar's public spaces. This extends the festival period for the approximately 20,000 residents by a creative week, making Haar a festive meeting place on the edge of the Munich gravel plain.
A Young Tradition in the District of Munich
The Haarer Volksfest was launched in 2023 and has established itself as a firm fixture in the community's event calendar within a few years. It is organized in cooperation between the municipality of Haar, the festival host, and the showmen – an example of how a unique, down-to-earth Volksfest can emerge even in the affluent commuter belt around Munich, combining Franconian and Old Bavarian inn culture.
Haarer Volksfest — edition 2026
The 3rd Haarer Volksfest 2026 takes place from Friday, June 26, to Tuesday, June 30, 2026. The venue is again the circus meadow at the intersection of the B 304 and Ludwig-van-Beethoven-Straße in Haar near Munich.

In the festival tent with around 1,400 seats, Wildbräu from Grafing is served. Bavarian brass bands and cover bands provide a festive atmosphere in the evenings, and the tent kitchen serves classic Bavarian specialties and vegetarian alternatives.
