Pfalzfest Ludwigshafen – Volksfest in Ebertpark

Ludwigshafen's Largest Volksfest

The Pfalzfest in Ebertpark is Ludwigshafen's largest and most traditional Volksfest in terms of visitor numbers and duration. With a ten-day run and a wide mix of rides, Beer Village, Wine Lounge, food stalls, and stage program, it attracts guests from the entire Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region.

Ebertpark as the Festival Grounds

Friedrich-Ebert-Park – Ebertpark for short – in the Friesenheim district is one of Ludwigshafen's largest urban green spaces. During the festival days, it provides the necessary space for a large Volksfest with rides, marquees, stages, and promenade areas. The park-like setting gives the Pfalzfest a unique atmosphere, different from the intimate neighborhood Kirmes (funfairs).

New Rides for 2026

Three highlights take center stage in 2026: SPLASH is a water ride that takes visitors on a splashy roller coaster experience. The Ferris wheel AIR POWER offers a view over Ebertpark, Ludwigshafen, and the Rhine towards Mannheim from a great height. NIGHT FLY is a modern high-thrill ride that impresses, especially in the evening hours, with its light effects.

Beer Village and Wine Lounge

The Beer Village brings together several marquees and outdoor areas with classic Volksfest beer service, pretzels, roast chicken, and hearty snacks. The Wine Lounge serves Palatinate wines – Riesling, Burgundy, Cuvées – creating a contrast to the classic Beer Village atmosphere. Many visitors enjoy both areas as complementary poles of the Pfalzfest.

Getting There by Tram

Getting there by public transport is very convenient via tram line 10 (Ebertpark/Fichtestraße stop). Parking at Ebertpark is severely limited during the festival days – public transport is expressly recommended.
