The traditional Volksfest of TSV Niederviehbach in Lower Bavaria
The Kirchweihvolksfest Niederviehbach is the social highlight of the year in the Lower Bavarian municipality in the Dingolfing-Landau district. It is organized by TSV Niederviehbach, a sports club founded in 1920 with over 1,000 members – the festival is closely intertwined with club life and is supported by numerous volunteers.
The opening follows a set ritual: a concert in front of the Klosterbauhof at 6:00 PM, followed by the procession to the festival meadow. There, the beer tapping ceremony by the mayor takes place, accompanied musically by the Viehbachtaler Blaskapelle. The Niederviehbach Monastery provides the historic backdrop.
The specially brewed Dult-Bier from the Wittmann brewery is served – made with a special mashing process, Hallertau hops, and water from an artesian well. The beer tasting in advance is part of the festival's tradition.
As a sports club festival, the Kirchweihvolksfest has a distinct sporting character: tennis, football matches, Bavarian skittles (Stockschießen), beach volleyball, a summer biathlon, and the popular Schafkopf tournament. Additionally, there are club days, neighborhood days, business days, a seniors' afternoon, a children's program, and a guided hike. In the evenings, bands play in the festival tent.
The festival combines Bavarian Volksfest culture with club life: Weißwurst breakfast, a church service, a festival parade, a flea market, and live music until the early hours. It is a festival by Niederviehbach residents for Niederviehbach residents – and for all guests from the region.
Four days of Volksfest on the Niederviehbach festival meadow, from August 14th to 17th, 2026. Opening with a concert and procession, Wittmann festival beer, sporting competitions, and live music in the festival tent.
