Hann. Münden — where Werra and Fulda become the Weser
Hann. Münden is the city where the Werra and Fulda rivers meet to form the Weser. With its half-timbered old town — Alexander von Humboldt called it one of the seven most beautifully situated cities in the world — Hann. Münden is one of the most visited tourist destinations in southern Lower Saxony. The Ostervolksfest on the festival grounds is part of the annual event calendar and, with its long tradition, provides a firm Easter highlight.
Nine days of festivities around Easter
The Ostervolksfest 2026 spans nine days — from Holy Saturday, April 4, to Sunday, April 12. This covers the entire Easter holidays and offers both locals and tourists the opportunity to visit the traditional folk festival. Showmen from Northern Germany travel here annually and provide a varied program with rides, carousels, a Ferris wheel, bumper cars, and many other attractions.
Snacks and sweets — classic folk festival cuisine
Culinary delights are provided by a variety of food stalls: Bratwurst, fries, Schmalzkuchen (lard cakes), almonds, gingerbread hearts, cotton candy, crêpes, steak sandwiches, and much more cater to the guests. Beer wagons, sparkling wine stands, and non-alcoholic drink options complement the offerings. The typical folk festival atmosphere — with carousel music, the scent of sweets and Bratwurst, and colorful lighting in the evening — is particularly impressive on weekends.
Fireworks on the second Saturday
The undisputed highlight of the Ostervolksfest is the grand fireworks display on the second Saturday — in 2026, that's April 11. Thousands of spectators line the festival grounds and surrounding areas to experience the multi-minute pyrotechnic show. The fireworks have become a hallmark of the festival and are eagerly awaited year after year.
Annual Tradition
The Ostervolksfest is an annual tradition in Hann. Münden and a reliable date in the city's spring calendar. Families from all over the region and tourists visiting the city of three rivers at Easter make the festival one of their planned activities.
