Maidult as Season Opener
The Pfaffenhofener Maidult is the opening event of the Volksfest season in the Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm district. The venue is the historic town center around the Hauptplatz (main square) of the district town Pfaffenhofen; the organizer is the City of Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm in cooperation with local associations and showmen.
Unlike the large Volksfests held in tents, the Maidult is a classic Jahrmarkts-Dult (market fair): stalls with arts and crafts, fashion, household goods, plus amusement rides, carousels, shooting galleries, candy stalls, and food stands. The stalls are spread across the Hauptplatz and adjacent alleys; the audience primarily comes from the region and traditionally enjoys the Maidult as a spring outing.
