Isener Volksfest

Four Decades of Folk Festival in Isen

The Isener Volksfest has been a firm fixture in the summer calendar of the Erding district since the early 1980s. With the 2026 edition, the market town of Isen celebrates its 40th anniversary – a jubilee that will be marked with a particularly carefully curated program. Characteristic of the market town is the combination of culture, tradition, and fine programming: the Volksfest is more than just beer service; it aims to distinguish itself from neighboring folk festivals with special highlights.

Three Areas, One Festival Site

The festival grounds are divided into three main areas:

• The large Festzelt (festival tent) with a stage, beer service, and a daily changing music program
• The Urweisse Hütt'n as a cozy alternative for snacks, Weißwurst (traditional white sausages), and Weißbier (wheat beer)
• The Vergnügungspark (amusement park) with rides, carousels, and food stalls

Opening with Cabaret

A special feature of the Isener Volksfest: The opening on the first evening does not take place – as is usual – with a simple beer tapping ceremony, but with a double cabaret show. In 2026, Da Huawa und I and Tom & Basti will be on stage, providing a culturally spiced start.

Market Town of Isen in the Erding District

Isen is located in the eastern part of the Erding district in the Upper Bavarian region. The market town with almost 6,000 inhabitants was historically an important parish center – the collegiate church of St. Zeno is one of the most significant Romanesque buildings in Old Bavaria. The Volksfest reflects the community's traditional Bavarian identity: down-to-earth, but with style.
