Riegeler Musikfest with Landbiertag

Three Days of Music and Local Beer

The 2026 edition combines the classic Riegeler Musikfest program with the 14th Landbiertag – a combination that has drawn thousands of visitors from the Breisgau region, the Kaiserstuhl, and neighboring Alsace to the Riegel festival grounds for over a decade.

The festival tent is the centerpiece, featuring draft beer (and beer from traditional stoneware mugs on Landbiertag), Baden cuisine, and a packed live program: from the Polka opening by the Bahlingen band to the Schwarzwald Quintett and the Riegeler Brassband. French guests from Alsace (Fanfare de Sundhouse) will bring Alsatian flair to the Kaiserstuhl on Sunday.
