Late Summer Volksfest in the Augsburg District
The Neusäß Volksfest was established in 1975 and has since become one of the most attractive folk festivals in the western Augsburg region, Augsburg district, state of Bavaria. In 2025, the city of Neusäß celebrated the 50th anniversary of its Volksfest together with the 150th anniversary of the city's volunteer fire departments. Celebrations take place over ten days on the central festival grounds.
Parade, Beer Tapping, and Festival Evenings
The festival opens on Friday with the classic parade: clubs, fire departments, traditional costume groups, and the city band march from the Maypole in Remboldstraße at 5:30 PM to the festival tent. There, the mayor taps the first keg around 6 PM. Afterwards, the multi-day festival tent program begins. Monday and Tuesday are rest days; live bands play on all other days.
Live Music and Family Program
The musical program is provided by the Stadtkapelle Neusäß and regional party bands: S.O.S., Mercuries, Midnight Ladies, Joe Williams Band, Bonny Tones, Domenico Salerno, and others are among the regular guests. In addition, there are classic folk festival elements: family days with reduced ride prices, special food events like ox on the spit or Schäuferla Day, and children's programs.
Swabian Cuisine in the Festival Tent
Since 2025, catering has been provided by Metzgerei Schmid from Wortelstetten, serving Swabian delicacies in the festival tent: Hendl, Spätzle, Maultaschen, Krautsalat, and Brez'n. Beer comes from a regional brewery in the Augsburg area. This gives the Volksfest a distinctly Swabian character, clearly differentiating it from the large Munich folk festivals.
