The Little Folk Festival at Auenpark
The Rawetzer Volksfestl – colloquially "Rawetzer" for Marktredwitz – is the summer folk festival of the Upper Franconian town of Marktredwitz in the Wunsiedel district of the Fichtelgebirge. It takes place in the Auenpark on Rößlermühlstraße and is considered a convivial, family-friendly counterpart to the big Bavarian folk festivals – not a mass spectacle, but a down-to-earth festival with local clubs, a traditional marquee, and a typical festival ground.
Marquee and Beer Garden
The focus is on the marquee with an adjoining beer garden. Here, Upper Franconian beer is served on tap, accompanied by bratwurst, fish on a stick, roast chicken, and Franconian delicacies. Live music is played in the evenings, while families enjoy the marquee with coffee and cake in the mornings and afternoons.
Amusement Rides and Festival Stalls
Classic amusement rides spin on the festival grounds: bumper cars, a carousel, Breakdance, a children's carousel, a trampoline, and a giant slide. Shooting galleries, throwing games, and game stalls complement the offerings – ideal for families with children who are experiencing the Volksfest atmosphere for the first time here.
Beer Tapping, DJ Night, and Family Afternoon
The programme follows the classic five-day schedule of Upper Franconian folk festivals:
- Thursday: Beer tapping by the First Mayor with live music
- Friday: Live bands in the marquee
- Saturday: DJ night with current hits and music from the 80s and 90s
- Sunday: Frühschoppen with brass music (often the Marktredwitz town band), family programme
- Monday: Family afternoon with half-price rides, festival wind-down in the evening with the town's clubs
Marktredwitz in the Fichtelgebirge
With around 17,000 inhabitants, Marktredwitz is a central town in northeastern Bavaria, on the border with the Czech Republic and in the southern foothills of the Fichtelgebirge. The town is known for its porcelain tradition, the annual Marktredwitz Wine Festival, and its role as an industrial and administrative city between Wunsiedel and Selb. The Rawetzer Volksfestl adds a classic, cosy summer festival to this identity.
