Pufferstraßenfest Bollensen

Street Festival as a Community Experience

Street festivals have a long tradition in German villages. When an entire street becomes a festival mile, when neighbors grill together, set up tables, and celebrate together, a special form of community arises. The Pufferstraßenfest in Bollensen is a prime example of this tradition — and has become a fixture in the Solling-Vogler event calendar over 15 editions.

The 15th Edition

The 15th edition in 2026 will take place on June 13th — fitting for early summer, which is climatically ideal for such street festivals. From 2 PM, Pufferstraße transforms into a festival mile that is filled with life until the evening hours.

Program Highlights

As is customary at street festivals, the program is diverse: food stalls with bratwurst, fries, burgers, and sweet temptations, a well-stocked drinks bar, live music or DJ sets, children's entertainment with a bouncy castle, games, and craft activities, as well as smaller cultural contributions from local clubs.

Community in Focus

What particularly distinguishes the Pufferstraßenfest is its strong community roots. Residents of Pufferstraße and the adjacent streets organize the festival together with the local clubs. This volunteer commitment ensures the warm, authentic atmosphere that attracts visitors from the surrounding towns.

Bollensen as a Venue

Bollensen is a district of the town of Uslar with rural charm. Its location on the edge of the Solling makes it an idyllic excursion destination — a street festival in this setting is more than just a party; it's a summer experience with village charm.
