Geisenhausen in the Landshut Hill Country
The market town of Geisenhausen is located in the Lower Bavarian district of Landshut, about 15 kilometers south of the district capital, in the hilly foothills between the Isar and Vils rivers. The municipality, with around 7,000 inhabitants, is home to the Geisenhausen brewery cooperative – one of the still active cooperative breweries in Bavaria – and hosts its large folk festival every year at Pentecost.
Festival Grounds and Brewery Cooperative
The festival grounds in the south of the municipality offer space for the festival tent, several showman businesses, and a spacious outdoor area. The festival beer comes directly from the Geisenhausen brewery cooperative from the town itself – a rare constellation in Bavaria, as many folk festivals are now supplied by large breweries. The cooperative has existed since 1923 and supplies the Pentecost folk festival with home-brewed beer according to Lower Bavarian tradition.
Pentecost as a Festival Calendar
Pentecost – the feast of the Holy Spirit 50 days after Easter – is a traditional folk festival date in Bavaria. Whit Monday is a public holiday, and the long Pentecost holidays attract families from all over the state to outdoor festivals. In Geisenhausen, the folk festival runs for five days from Thursday to Whit Monday and is one of the traditional folk festivals in Lower Bavaria.
Club Life and Showmen
The market town of Geisenhausen is the organizer, and the local clubs share the catering in the festival tent and service. In addition, classic showman businesses are on site: bumper cars, carousels, a small Ferris wheel, children's rides, and the typical snack and candy stalls. Admission to the festival grounds is free, rides are at showman prices.
