Ingolstädter Bürgerfest
2025
Edition 2025 — Bürgerfest Ingolstadt
A Transition Year
Until now, the Ingolstädter Bürgerfest has been organized every two years by the City's Cultural Office — for example, in 2024 with the festival mile between the Kreuztor and Rathausplatz. For 2025, no major Bürgerfest edition was planned within the classic cycle.
Preparation for the Shift
During 2025, a voluntary initiative formed around City Councilor Karl Ettinger, City Council Candidate Oli Munz, and the Innenstadtfreunde Ingolstadt, with the goal of organizing the Bürgerfest annually in the future, under citizen management, and with the motto "A Festival by Citizens for Citizens." This initiative specifically materialized in the relaunch planned for July 10th and 11th, 2026.
Programme
Bürgerfest History
