Festival Tradition for Decades
The Heimatfest Kollnburg has been celebrated for over four decades at the beginning of August in the picturesque town center of Kollnburg. A special feature: every year, a different local club organizes the festival – often in connection with founding anniversaries, banner dedications, or special ceremonies. This keeps the Heimatfest varied and distributes the responsibility among the entire club life of the town.
Venue Below the Castle Ruins
The festival grounds are the Mehrzweckplatz am Schloßberg, directly below the famous Kollenburg castle ruins. The impressive hillside setting with the medieval castle tower forms a unique backdrop for the festival tent and grounds. Kollnburg is not nicknamed "Romantic Castle Village" for nothing.
Bavarian-Bavarian Forest Festival Culture
The program follows the classic Lower Bavarian Heimatfest dramaturgy: beer tapping on the opening evening, festival tent operation with brass music, traditional costume and festival parade on Sunday, family program with performances by local folk dance groups, and evening entertainment with live bands from the Bavarian Forest.
Heimat- und Volkstrachtenverein (Homeland and Folk Costume Association)
The Heimat- und Volkstrachtenverein Kollnburg e.V. – organizer in 2026 – preserves traditional customs, costumes, dialect, folk dance, and folk music. As early as 2011, for its 45th anniversary, the association had organized the Heimatfest. In 2026, it celebrates its 60th anniversary and uses the Heimatfest as the occasion.
Kollnburg in the Bavarian Forest
Kollnburg is located in the district of Regen in Lower Bavaria (Bavaria), on the edge of the Bavarian Forest Nature Park, between Viechtach and Bodenmais. With around 2,800 inhabitants and a long tradition of folk costumes and pilgrimages, the municipality is a classic example of authentic Bavarian Forest village life. For many locals and regular guests, attending the Heimatfest is a fixed date in the annual calendar.
Heimatfest Kollnburg — edition 2026

The organizer for 2026 is the Heimat- und Volkstrachtenverein Kollnburg, celebrating its 60th anniversary.
