Nandlstädter Hopfenfest

Hop Tradition in the Hallertau

Nandlstadt is located in the middle of the Hallertau, the largest contiguous hop-growing region in the world. For generations, hops have shaped the landscape, economy, and festival culture of the region. The Nandlstädter Hopfenfest honors this deep connection to the green hop cone and is one of the most traditional Volksfests in the district of Freising.

Festival in the Hopfenhalle

The venue is the Hopfenhalle on Bahnhofstraße – a fitting setting for a festival that celebrates hops. Over several days, a varied festival and music program, festival beer, and hearty and sweet delicacies ensure a lively Volksfest atmosphere. The event is organized by the Nandlstadt Business Association, which hosts the festival together with local clubs.

Program for All Generations

The regular highlights include a family day with a children's program, a Schafkopf tournament for card players, and the Hopfenfestlauf, where sports enthusiasts run through the Hallertau hop landscape. Live music and brass bands accompany the festival days.

Rooted in Upper Bavaria

The Hopfenfest is more than just a Volksfest: it is an annual commitment by the people of Nandlstadt to their homeland and hop cultivation. Those who want to experience authentic Bavaria away from the major tourist crowds will find an authentic festival with a warm atmosphere here in the district of Freising.
