Volksfest Oberschleißheim

About Volksfest Oberschleißheim

The Oberschleißheimer Volksfest is one of the most traditional small folk festivals in the north of Munich. Since the end of the 1970s, the municipality of Oberschleißheim (Munich district) has been inviting visitors to a Bavarian Wiesn (Oktoberfest) experience in a smaller format at the beginning of May: a large festival tent run by festival host Robert Schmidt, freshly tapped Remonte-Bräu from the local Schleißheim cooperative brewery, amusement rides with bumper cars, carousels, and shooting galleries, a parade of local clubs to mark the opening, and numerous themed evenings characterize the five-day festival around Ascension Day. Easily accessible by S-Bahn line S1 in 30 minutes from Munich Central Station.

A Volksfest with Roots in the Schleißheim Club Scene

The Oberschleißheimer Volksfest was founded in the 1970s by local clubs and is now a firm fixture in the Bavarian spring calendar. The festival is organized jointly by the Municipality of Oberschleißheim, FC Phönix Schleißheim, RSV Schleißheim, and experienced festival host Robert Schmidt. It takes place on the Volksfest grounds on Theodor-Heuss-Straße, about 14 kilometers north of Munich's city center in the district of Munich.

Festival Tent, Remonte-Bräu, and Bavarian Delicacies

The centerpiece is the large festival tent with table service at long wooden benches. The festival beer is supplied by Remonte Bräu Schleißheim eG, a small cooperative brewery located right in town. The festival tent kitchen serves classic Bavarian delicacies: roast chicken from the rotisserie, pork roast with dumplings, Leberkäse, Weißwurst, grilled fish on a stick (Steckerlfisch), as well as typical side dishes like sauerkraut salad or Obatzda.

Parade, Family Day, and Festival Tent Olympics

The festival traditionally begins on Wednesday or Thursday with a parade of local clubs from Bürgerplatz to the festival tent, led by a brass band. The reigning mayor taps the first beer keg. This is followed by various themed evenings: Father's Day, Senior Citizens' Afternoon, "Day of Companies and Authorities" with a dance orchestra, "Day of Clubs" with a party band, and on Sunday morning, a church service in the festival tent followed by the Festival Tent Olympics, hosted by Michi Dietmayr.

Amusement Rides and Carousels

Around the festival tent, amusement rides provide a folk festival atmosphere: bumper cars, a chain carousel, a classic children's carousel, shooting galleries, lottery stalls, and sweet stands with candied almonds, gingerbread, and chocolate-covered fruits. The Family Day with reduced prices is particularly popular with families from the Munich commuter belt.

Schleißheim – More Than Just a Volksfest

Those who wish to combine their visit to the Volksfest with an excursion should visit the famous Schloss Schleißheim with its New and Old Palaces and the palace park in French Baroque style. Also in the immediate vicinity are the Schleißheim Aircraft Museum, an outpost of the Deutsches Museum, and the Regattaparksee – formerly the Olympic rowing course for the 1972 Games.
